Visit Tankerton Beach
Just east of Whitstable is Tankerton beach, where a wide grassy bank slopes down to the shingle beach. There are rows of highly sought after wooden beach huts at the base of the slopes, whose past owners have included Tracey Emin, and Charles Saatchi.
You can swim at Tankerton beach. During the busy summer months, lifeguards are on duty to keep everyone safe.
Bring your favorite snacks and enjoy a picnic on the grassy areas. This part of the Kent coast is a wonderful spot for a day out, whether you want to relax, explore, or have fun with family and friends.
Tankerton beach is dog-friendly all year round with a restricted area between the first house and start of the beach huts at Safety Point 14 (boundary lines are marked on promenade.)
