Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Kingsdown 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 Kingsdown 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 Kingsdown 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.

A lovely part of our Dover cliffs trek which I started from Dover Castle. For us it's an ideal place to pit stop, take a snack break and even go for a dip to cool off as the day was lovely and hot.

Lovely quiet pebble beach five minutes drive away from the centre of Deal. We didn’t get the weather on our visit but it’s picturesque and worth a look!

If you want a very long peaceful walk along the seafront you need to do this. It's a beautiful walk with lovely views of the pebble beach and the lovely houses that line the seafront. There is cafe that serves fairly priced food and drinks and some home cooked desserts which are tasty. The place is a little treasure buried away in Kent.
