Whitstable has some of the most quintessentially English beaches in the UK, with pubs, restaurants and ice cream parlours all within walking distance of the beaches.
If you’re coming to Whitstable for a day Trip, why not first check out the live webcam of Whitstable seaviews to see what the weather is like before you leave.
Plus check out this travelling to Whitstable guide for tips on parking and avoiding the traffic.
The beaches around Whitstable are all family friendly and very clean, with a ‘Blue Flag’ award for highest quality in water, facilities, safety, environmental education and management.
Dogs are not allowed off the lead between May and September and there are plenty of foul bins dotted around if you do have dogs.
The beaches are pebbly so make sure you bring a rug or deck chairs.
Two of the most popular beaches are shown below on the map highlighted by a blue bubble. These 2 beaches are:
Cushings view
Aptly named after the actor and much-loved Whitstable resident, Peter Cushing. It is said he liked to sit here and enjoy the view, particularly the stunning sunsets! Cushing's View is the most central point of Whitstable's beaches. There are restaurants, pubs and ice cream parlours literally within a minutes walk so it becomes very popular in the summer. There is a car park right in front of the beach so worth getting here early to avoid walking from the next nearest car park.
Tankerton slopes
This is the area where you can really spread out, and get away from the crowds. There’s wide grass areas which slopes down to a walk way in front of the long beach. There’s a café and ice cream parlour in the middle of the grassy slopes and parking is available along the top on Marine Parade.
