Kingsgate Bay was originally called St. Bartholomew's Gate until King Charles II landed here in 1683 with his brother, the Duke of York, and ordered the renaming. Kingsgate Castle, built in 1763, stands majestically above the beach. Kingsgate Bay is home to some of the most beautiful sea caves in Thanet and is approximately 150 meters wide. The sandy bay offers peace and seclusion and is accessible via a steep staircase. At high tide, the sand is exposed, but the beach is cut off from the sea at both ends. https://www.visitthanet.co.uk/plan-your-visit/weather-and-tide-times/

Some nice historic buildings and heritage, but the level of traffic, means you constantly have to be alert.

Apart from the single Turner (depicting Margate) - and the Gormley sculpture in the sea in front of the gallery (low tide only), this gallery hosts a series of temporary exhibitions. The one we saw (Steve MacQueen - Resistance) was great.

Wonderful stained glass window, fabulous surround, and ceiling. Local green, surrounding pub and houses are worth looking at also.

The Sandwich Bay part is free to cyclists and walkers. Only motor vehicles pay the toll.

From here you have a beautiful view of the gate.

You cycle here on a private road for a fee along Sandwich Bay and the beautiful golf course of The Royal St Georges Golf Club.
