This stunning beach is an ideal spot for dog owners, offering soft sand and picturesque chalk cliffs to the left, and the magnificent Kings Gate Castle to the right. Despite being a Saturday, the beach was not overly crowded, providing a peaceful atmosphere. The only drawback was the abundance of seaweed that required navigating to take a dip in the water. Overall, highly recommended for a relaxing day by the sea.

Kingsgate Beach is a stunning sight that resembles a miniature version of Durdel Door. Situated just a few miles from Botany Bay, it's a destination that's definitely worth a visit. The beach is accompanied by a charming restaurant called The Captain Dugby where we indulged in some delicious food and ice cream. The view from the beach is nothing short of breathtaking, with a picturesque small castle that blends perfectly with the blue clouds and water. This is a place that should definitely be on your bucket list.

Located just a couple of hours away from London, this beach is perfect for a family day out. It's a great spot to spend some quality time with your loved ones, and best of all, there's no entry fee! Many families come here to set up camp and enjoy a barbecue on the beach. You'll find plenty of parking spaces nearby, as well as some lovely parks to explore. So why not pack up the car and head to the beach for a fun-filled day with your family?
