Barton’s Point is a shingle beach just east of Sheerness. It’s right next to a coastal park and has a traffic-free section of cycleway running along side it. It’s a popular spot for camper vans.

This wild nature reserve is almost perfectly flat with a network of straight trails crossing it. Look out for seabirds as well as plants and wildlife. We spotted barn owls.

A wild section of sand dune and beach path away from the busy south-east. Part of the beach is naturist, you have been warned!
