Location map of 'Margate Main Sands' Blue Flag certified beach

Margate, the original seaside destination, home to Turner Contemporary has a popular wide sandy bay. This timeless beach with tidal pool, children’s rides and amusement arcades caters for families who want traditional seaside fun and entertainment. Even if the tide is in there is still plenty of beach to make sandcastles. Plenty of restaurants, bars and seafood stalls are just a short walk away in the Old Town. With JMW Turner stating that Margate has “the loveliest skies in all of Europe” there is nothing better than watching the colours reflect over the bay of an evening.
