Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Walmer 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 Walmer 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 Walmer 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.

The beach is fantastic with small stones stretching for miles and is typically not too crowded. It's also dog-friendly year-round. The water is generally calm, making it ideal for swimming, but not ideal for surfing or bodyboarding. On a clear day, there are stunning views of France.

This beach is an incredible spot to enjoy the British summer sun. When we visited, there was plenty of parking available. It was the perfect outing for my family, including our two toddlers, dog, husband, and myself. We all enjoyed soaking up the sun and meeting the friendly locals who didn't seem to mind our overly friendly dog. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great day out, and there are toilet facilities available on site.

My dog and I love going to this beach. We like taking a stroll along the lengthy and even coastal path that connects Kingsdown to Deal. The distance from Boundary Road to Deal Pier is around 2.5 miles. We encounter a lot of cyclists and pedestrians, some of whom have dogs with them. It's nice to admire the scenery, including the Walmer and Deal Castles, and on a clear day, we can see all the way to the French Coast across the English Channel.
