Take the Thanet Coastal Path along the seafront at Minnis Bay and take in the beach huts, white cliffs and holidaymakers. The concrete cycle path feels somewhat incongruent with the scenery and no doubt wouldn't be built now, but it does make for a good pedal along the beach.

bloody confrontation at Marsh Bay near here proved the downfall of the North Kent gang. A blockademan recognized one of the gang, and called out his name. At this, all resistance evaporated as the smugglers fled. This was just the beginning of the story, though. The matter was put in the hands of a Margate solicitor, John Boys. Amazingly, pursuit by the legal process succeeded where the gun and pistol had failed. Through Boys' tenacious efforts 18 members of the gang were brought to book, and a Maidstone jury convicted all 18 for armed assembly.
