Sea View Café

Highlight • Cafe

Very Basic food, Feels like a Time Warp inside.

Tip by

An excellent fish and chippy, just away from the tourist hub of the town centre. Well worth the extra KM to get to it. You can eat in, eat on the benches outside or if the weather is OK, take your fish and chips and sit on the beach just a few metres away! (Watch out for seagulls though!)

Whitstable Harbour

Highlight • Structure

There is a lovely little market at Whitstable Harbour. It has expanded enormously over the years and now has some really excellent, trendy restaurants as well as arts and crafts stalls where you can find some gems. There are also a number of very cheap stalls selling fresh fish and takeaway food just outside the market itself.

Whitstable Seafront Promenade

Highlight • Beach

There's a good cycle route right on the seafront at Whitstable that leads all the way to the edge of Herne Bay. Gorgeous sea views all the way!

Herne Bay Beach Huts

Highlight • Structure

The brightly coloured beach huts of Herne Bay are a delightful sight, as is the blue sea and the pebbled beach between them.

The town of Herne Bay is also home to the world's first purpose-built freestanding clock tower, which dates back to 1837.

Herne Bay Pier

Highlight • Monument

Herne Bay Pier is packed with traditional seaside charm and has plenty of food stalls and entertainment. The pier you see today is actually the third to be built at Herne Bay. The first one was completed in 1832 and was very long for the time, measuring 3,787 feet (1,154 metres).

Herne Bay Clock Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Clock Tower was built in 1837 and is believed to be one of the earliest examples of a free-standing clock tower in the UK. A symbol of Herne Bay since 1894, the 77-foot (23 metre) tall tower is Grade II-listed.
