Low tide reveals a long sandy beach at Walpole Bay, with rock pools to explore, a tidal pool to swim in and a promenade to walk along. There is also a cafe if you are in need of refreshment.

Walpole Bay Beach and Promenade Steps

Joss Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the many beautiful bays in Thanet. The promenade gives way to sand for a short stretch and running across it means you can carry on round to Walpole or Foreness point.
