What visitors say
Margate was beautiful and clean. Very quiet city too. I went to the sea side and well maintained. I loved that the lifeguards kept announcing for people to be careful and be safe in the water. Clean sandy beach

Simply beautiful 😍 divine beach ⛱️ for londoners yes its a bit far but well worth the visit. Everyone here is so friendly and food is amazing. Sandy beach makes you feel like you are somewhere tropical. Sunsets are so lovely. I highly recommend it

Big sandy beach, lots of entertainment close by, large parking garage within 5min walking distance. Loved the 'boating area' separate from the sea

Lovely sandy beach. The tide pool is super useful during low tide ( but be careful is super slippery to get in and out). Also beware of the mob of seagulls ...they will swoop and steal your food 🫣
