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.

Quite a surreal appearance coming from the old town, Well worth checking out. Plenty of benches an cycleway running past.

This sculpture features two blocks of white Portland stone on a bed of slate. On the top are profiles of swimmers pushing forward into a wave of stone. It was created in 1995 by artist, Ray Smith and is a memorial for cross-channel swimmers. It also marks the start/end of the North Downs Way as well as National Cycle Network routes 1 and 2.

The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic British landmark. As this is the narrowest sea crossing to mainland Europe, the white cliffs were once the first sighting of home that you would have when returning from abroad. During World War Two, Dame Vere Lyn's song "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" brought the landscape even closer to the nation's hearts. She led a campaign to save the clifftops from development before her death in 2017.

Hiking the White Cliffs is a fantastic experience🤩
