The MCS's 2009 Good Beach Guide describes Ramsgate Main Sands as 'an excellent family beach' which 'receives regular awards', and gives it the five star seal of approval borriewise. Hurrah! Contrast that with Margate, which failed to get a recommendation and could only manage a 'basic pass' for water quality, adjacent to the ominous words 'combined sewer overflow, tertiary discharge'. Yurgh! The MCS also had a downer on Viking Bay in Broadstairs, which the many people who have returned from a swim there only to find themselves fetching up with a touch of the old bubonic plague will no doubt testify to.
What with that and Ramsgate being the only Blue Flag beach of the three this year, plus today's forecast predicting a scorching weekend for the tip of Kent, you'd better get down to the Millionaires' Playground and grab your champagne sorbets before they're all gone!

Phew! It's going to be a scorcher!
Ripper! It's Ramsgate!
Merde! It's Margate!

All this childish gloating over Rammers and dissing of Margers. It's academic anyway as everyone on Thanet knows Botany bay is the best beach.
Unfortunately more people are going to know about it.

Leave Botany Bay to the nudists. I can just see mum and dad and the kids choking on the ice creams as Peter Checksfield whips out his dangly bits. As for gran, she'd probably have a stroke (if she was quick enough).
Everyone knows Ramsgate Main Sands is the cleanest and most family friendly beach in Thanet.
Proof that Botany Bay has its knockers:
