Walk from Hythe to Folkestone nice, I'd suggest parking up in Folkestone and walking to Hythe it's a great walk so you get the best of both Hythe and Folkestone in one day. Sea is beautiful in both places. · via Google [Chris D](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103703791186680032380/reviews) ★★★★★ Beautiful seaside, pebbly beach, not many restaurants in walking distance, but definitely can get something by car or ordering. Loads of parking, free after 6pm! Gets a bit busy on weekends, but weekdays are nice and relaxing! Perfect spot for paddle boarding as you can pump the boards near the car and a small walk to the sea! · via Google [Mirtha Wright](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104410447832633253342/reviews) ★★★★★ Hythe a small sea side in Kent.
