Viking Bay, the main beach, is perfect for swimming, sunbathing and family days out, while nearby Joss Bay is popular with surfers and those looking for a quieter stretch of coastline. The town itself offers a fantastic selection of independent cafés, pubs and restaurants, as well as boutique shops and galleries to explore.

The area is rich in history and culture, with strong links to Charles Dickens, who spent time in Broadstairs and found inspiration here. Visitors can explore Dickens House Museum or enjoy scenic coastal walks along the Viking Coastal Trail, taking in dramatic cliffs and sea views. Nearby attractions include the vibrant town of Margate, home to the Turner Contemporary gallery and Dreamland amusement park, and the historic city of Canterbury, with its famous cathedral, shops and eateries.
