4 distinct towns, each with its own character
Margate
The beating heart of the Isle of Thanet, Margate is a town of vivid contrasts where the Turner Contemporary sits beside candy-striped beach huts, independent galleries fill Victorian arcades and the Old Town hums with creative energy.
Creative, vibrant, seaside revival
Ramsgate
Ramsgate is the only Royal Harbour in England: a town proud of its maritime heritage, with a working harbour, grand Regency terraces and a lively waterfront.
Maritime, proud, community-minded
Broadstairs
Arguably the prettiest town in the Isle of Thanet, Broadstairs is famously beloved by Charles Dickens who summered here each year. Viking Bay is a postcard-perfect sandy cove ringed by colourful beach huts; the town is quieter than its neighbours, genteel and deeply charming.
Charming, literary, quintessentially English
Birchington
The quieter, greener end of the Isle of Thanet, Birchington-on-Sea is a village that has retained its local character. The clifftop gardens at Minnis Bay are beautiful, and the village square hosts independent shops and a genuine community feel.
Peaceful, village feel, hidden gemOwn a local business?
