Margate, dubbed one of the UK's best seaside towns, is a delightful blend of traditional charm and modern allure. The town brims with cosy pubs, craft breweries, and quaint shops, not to mention a remarkable array of bookshops. Affordable accommodation options make it an attractive choice for budget-conscious travellers.
The main beach, with its wide sandy expanse and gentle waters, is a favourite among locals and visitors alike. The promenade, lined with arcades and fish and chip shops, offers a quintessential British seaside experience.
If you're the adventurous type, Margate won't disappoint. One of the must-see attractions is the enchanting Shell Grotto, an underground passage adorned with over 4.6 million shells. It's a sight that will leave you spellbound.
For thrill-seekers, Dreamland is a must. This vintage-inspired theme park offers a variety of rides for all ages, from the exhilarating Rock and Roller rollercoaster and Pirate Ship to the delightful Cup and Saucers and Ladybird ride for the little ones. Dreamland also doubles up as a music venue, hosting an array of artists and acts for the Margate Summer Series.
Margate's appeal is further enhanced by its vibrant art scene. The Turner Contemporary, an art gallery designed by renowned architect Sir David Chipperfield, is a testament to the town's artistic heritage.
