Whitstable

The seaside town of Whitstable in the garden county of Kent is a fishing port that is famed for its oysters that have been collected here since at least Roman times. In 1830 one of the earliest train services came here and by 1832 line was extended to the harbour, making the port easy to get to for Londoners. Whitstable has a truly distinctive character and personality that makes it very popular with visitors who appreciate the charm of the quaint architecture and beauty of the stunning sunsets. Whitstable celebrates its rich maritime heritage with an annual oyster festival that brings large numbers of visitors.

Miles of pebble beaches lined with traditional painted beach huts make the seafront the prettiest place to be and Whitstable provides for a wide range of water sports; like sailing, windsurfing, kite flying, surfing and waterskiing as well as day trips on an original Thames barge. Dining in Whitstable is a feast of choice and particularly good for the freshly caught shellfish that are available throughout the year at restaurants and pubs in the town. With art galleries, chic boutiques, a wonderful seafront and an authentic working harbour that supplies the local restaurants, Whitstable offers an idyllic holiday destination for the whole family.
