Family Beach

[marinyork]

I defer to Marinyork for more recent views on Broadstairs. I spent many a happy summers day in childhood at Broadstairs whilst caravanning at Seasalter (which has a stone beach).

Actually you're very right. It just occured to me that even if one thought that Viking Bay was too busy, the other 6 bays can be very quiet (like the one in the photo I took). So you've got loads of choice around Broadstairs.

Having taken a look at t'internet, it would appear that Broadstairs has a number of beaches. The one I recall didn't have a promenade. It was a small secluded (chalk cliffs on three sides) beach with one shop halfway up the stairs, a bit of greenery on the top of the cliff and one pub.

Beat me too it. The gf lived on botany bay for many years. It hasn't changed much (apart from erosion) and last time I was there they were putting in some gas pipes of something. Very quiet and it's right next to the Fayreness.

This place has changed a bit over the years though
