The Margate Clock Tower is a landmark and a popular tourist attraction in Margate. Built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, it was officially opened on May 24, 1889, the Queen's 70th birthday. The clock tower houses a time globe, which allowed ships at sea and spectators on land to precisely set their clocks. The time globe is a large copper sphere that was raised to the top of the tower, near the masthead, and lowered at exactly 1:00 PM.

This magnificent, horseshoe-shaped bay is the main attraction of Broadstairs. It was the favorite holiday destination of Charles Dickens, who even dedicated a beloved story to it: "Our English Watering Place". The long sandy bay, the cliff-top promenade, and the wooden jetty make this bay a timelessly beautiful place.

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/

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.

Said to be haunted by 7 babies who were buried alive.

Beautiful coastline and safe swimming beach

Amazing views from the towers of the the ruined abbey, the remains of a Roman fort also lie nearby and some of the fabric is used in the construction of the abbey. Wonderful place to stop and very atmospheric, though cold in December!

Quaint seaside town with a lovely beach and lots of Dickens history.
