Although I've been a resident here for most of my life, I usually only visit the beach during the summer months. However, I do get to witness stunning sunrises every morning on my way to the train station and enjoy equally beautiful sunsets while walking home from school.

I really enjoyed my time at this beach, especially since it tends to be less crowded after 6pm. Additionally, the beach boasts beautiful golden sand.

This beach is a great spot for families to spend time together. The kids had a blast playing in the soft sand and there are plenty of options for dining and drinking. However, the downside is the toilets which are consistently dirty and unpleasant. Additionally, the beach is always crowded.

If you visit Margate beach, please remember to dispose of your rubbish in the designated bins. It's important to keep the beach clean, not only for the locals who work hard to maintain it, but also for the environment. Even though the locals do their best to clean up after visitors, it's unfair to expect them to constantly pick up after others. Let's all do our part in keeping Margate beach beautiful for generations to come.

We had a wonderful day out at this beautiful beach with my friends. The weather was mild, which made the experience even better. The golden sand added to the charm of the place, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that there weren't too many tourists around.
