Thanet sits like a peninsula, once an island and hugged by the sea on three sides and bathed in the ever-changing elements and power of the sea. Just over an hour from London, this coastal stretch offers a rich palette of locations, from wild, weathered edges to nostalgic seaside enclaves. Stone Bay is one of…
Thanet’s coastline is shaped by contrast. Wide, dramatic bays sit beside smaller, more intimate coves, and Louisa Bay is one of the quietest.

Sitting at the top of Broadstairs High Street, it has small areas of woodland. That open out into grassed areas, wide skies and a gentle sense of pause. For me, Pierremont…

If there is one site in Thanet that gets exceptional sunsets, Pegwell Bay is that spot!
