Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Deal Castle beach (Kent) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Deal Castle beach (Kent) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Deal Castle beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

4 Frustrating

I was initially skeptical about visiting a pebble beach since I prefer sandy ones, but I was pleasantly surprised by the light, fine pebbles on this beach. Although there wasn't any sand, the pebbles added a unique texture and charm to the shoreline.

The beach at Deal castle is definitely worth a visit. Not only does it offer a lot of historical information about England's coastal defense in the past, but it also boasts light, fine pebbles that make for a pleasant stroll.

6 Pleasant

The pebble beach is absolutely delightful and perfect for a leisurely stroll. However, the waves are a bit too intense and the water is quite deep, which makes it less than ideal for swimming. Therefore, I would recommend exploring the beach on foot and enjoying the stunning scenery instead of taking a dip in the water.

Our weekend getaway to the beach was truly delightful. The sun was shining and the beach was peaceful, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. What made this beach unique was the absence of sand, which turned out to be the highlight of our experience. Instead, we walked on a gravel beach, which was challenging and even uncomfortable at times, but ultimately rewarding. The feeling of accomplishment we felt after completing the walk was truly exhilarating.

During our exploration of the Kent coast, we stumbled upon a truly remarkable beach. It was immaculately clean and well-maintained, which made our visit all the more enjoyable. The town centre was bustling with open shops, adding to the overall charm of the area. We highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque seaside escape.
