Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Hythe 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 Hythe 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 Hythe 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.

8 Very good

This charming spot is perfect for dining, but the shore is composed of pebbles and not conducive for swimming due to its steep incline. It is better suited for watercraft activities.

The pebble beach was absolutely delightful! We visited during a peaceful time and my little ones had a blast scouring for pretty stones and frolicking in the refreshing water. As we wandered towards the end of the beach, we stumbled upon a charming cafe that served scrumptious food and beverages. The restrooms were also immaculate, which was a pleasant surprise. If you're fortunate, you might even catch a glimpse of one of the fishing boats setting sail into the vast ocean.

The beach offers accessible and well-maintained outdoor restrooms for both men and women. The shoreline is composed of smooth pebbles and is home to a fantastic fish and chip shop located at one end, as well as a few charming pubs and cafes scattered along the waterfront. Parking is free and unregulated on the front, and visitors can easily access the waterfront by crossing over the sea defenses.

This breathtaking destination is truly a gem, with picturesque strolls, captivating military heritage, and charming eateries dotting the timeless high street. I highly recommend experiencing it firsthand. For an even more unforgettable stay, consider securing a rental on the stunning seafront, as we did. The unparalleled ocean vistas that greet you each morning are the perfect way to begin any day.

My family and I frequent Hythe often, thanks to our relatives residing in the area. The promenade and military canal offer splendid strolls, while the town's peacefulness is complemented by an array of shops that cater to diverse needs. Although some shops have closed during the pandemic, larger stores still provide ample options. When the weather is pleasant, parking along the front can be a challenge, but we have a blue badge for my wife's wheelchair.
