Kingsdown Beach

A stretch of pebble beach flanked by grassy scrubland and chalk cliffs, Kingsdown beach is a nice place to relax by the sea. Although the beach is not great for swimming, you can explore the rock pools that are exposed at low tide. You may also be lucky enough to spot some seals.

On clear days, the views from the beach across the sea are stunning – you can even see across to France.

There's a pub directly on the seafront, too.

Located just above the White Cliffs of Dover, Kingsdown Beach is a secluded pebble beach with numerous benches suitable for picnics. At low tide, some sandy areas and a chalk shelf are exposed. The beach is bordered by grassy shrubs and flanked on one side by chalk cliffs. It is a popular local spot for kayaking and has many rock pools to explore. The beach and dunes around the village are important for migratory birds and insects, and for rare plants. The beach and cliffs are part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest which extends as far as Folkestone.

Ideal for a stopover - listen to the sound of the sea and recharge your batteries for the onward journey.
