Margate
Margate is a timeless seaside resort where traditional seaside fun and entertainment
sits happily alongside modern water sports and exciting new developments.You can
still relive the pleasures of childhood holidays spent digging sandcastles, splashing
in the waves and riding up and down the beach on amiable donkeys, but now you can
also try your hand at more high-
There is nothing like the fresh sea air and active fun for stimulating a healthy appetite and in addition to freshly cooked fish and chips, candyfloss and cockles and whelks there are pavement cafes, trendy coffee bars and restaurants, where you can enjoy a leisurely meal 'alfresco' whilst toying with what to do next.
A visit to Margate Old Town is a must, here, housed in a 17th Century building, is the intriguing local history museum a great contrast to the new galleries and individual little shops that are shaping the resort's growing cultural quarter.
In the evening there is nothing better than watching stunning colours reflected in the water as the sun sets over the sea, as generations before have, and as the artist JMW Turner did. The new Contemporary Art gallery being built here is named after him.
