Stony beach and plenty of space for children to play and run around. A lovely sunny day so we managed to enjoy some dip in the clear blue water beach which was lovely. When it came time to have dinner most places in the food court had run out of fish and chicken so be sure to get there early so you’re not disappointed. There are a variety of food vendors so a mix of cuisine from traditional British to Korean, Mexican, American etc. Toilet facilities available by the beach and food court area which are clean. · via Google [Aga S](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115539420381368747825/reviews) ★★★★★ Love this place. You can sit peacefully on the sand and watch the harbour arm from the beach, a very nice kiosk near the beach where you can buy drinks, ice creams and beach accessories for children. Just remember to check the tide times as the beach disappears during high tides · via Google [NU](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108279379582424825445/reviews) ★★★★★ Nice sunny beach but best to check tide levels and avoid going peak hours on weekends. Plenty of parking available then. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47debec8397f762d:0xd03fc89d210a2ce!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Folkestone, Kent [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.0815111%2C1.1903571) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (407 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** Folkestone [More attractions in Folkestone](https://staycation.co.uk/folkestone/attractions) ★ 4.6 (407 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.folkestone-hythe.gov.uk/parks-beaches-open-spaces/our-beaches?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01303 258594](tel:01303258594) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Folkestone [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x47debec8397f762d:0xd03fc89d210a2ce!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47debec8397f762d:0xd03fc89d210a2ce!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47debec8397f762d:0xd03fc89d210a2ce!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Folkestone Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
