A popular sandy bay backed by high chalk cliffs and near a picturesque harbour. Children's amusements nearby make this an excellent family beach. The beach receives regular awards, and has been named as one of the 10 top beaches in the UK.
Even Margate manages to make it to the merde-free section this year, albeit with a slight skid mark on its gusset with a mention of 'tertiary discharge'. Eugh! No such luck for Viking Bay in Broadstairs though, which fails to get a recommendation, a sentiment with 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 concur.
What with Ramsgate's new Blue Flag and praise from the MPS, you'd better get down to the Cannes of Kent and grab your champagne cocktails before they're all gone!

Well that second photo is like yuk!! As a Broadstairs resident I will certainly not be swimming this year but, on the plus side, at least I won't have slim down to fit into my bathers.
Stay in Broadstairs, it is now compulsory to have a badly done tattoo and man boobs if you want to swim in Ramsgate
Must be all the bleach and hair straightener, not to mention the diesel run-off from all the builders' Mercs and V8s, going into the water off Broadstairs that's causing the problem.
