This pleasant, sandy beach sits on the north-eastern Kent coast, and is one of the quieter beaches to be found close to the town of Margate – there are no arcades here. Westbrook is a good beach to bring young children, who will enjoy playing with buckets and spades in the clean sand or jumping in the waves. The presence of a lifeguard in the summer season and the gentle slope of the sands make this a relatively safe place for younger visitors.

The beach has a designated water-skiing area, a mini-golf course, tennis courts and bowling facilities. The facilities here are good, including deck chair hire, toilets and a couple of cafes.

Margate is only a mile away for shops, cafes and entertainment.
