A seaside trip to Broadstairs in Kent

There are so many seaside resorts in the UK it can be really hard sometimes deciding on where to go. The South of England is blessed with many family friendly resorts such as Cornwall, Brighton, Poole and Bournemouth but what about looking at some of the less well known resorts such as Broadstairs in Kent. Broadstairs has actually been a very popular beach holiday destination in the UK for many many years. A recent visit to Broadstairs reminded us on how much this place has to offer. Broadstairs has a rich heritage which is evident in the splendid promenade and wonderful flower beds that decorate it in the summer. Is it any wonder that Charles Dickens had a summer holiday home here - Bleak House.

From the quaint fishermans cottages to the bandstand in Victoria Parade this place is really worth exploring. The Blue Flag beaches attract lots of families in the summer who come to enjoy the wonderful sandy beaches and safe swimming. The promenade makes for a perfect walk whilst licking on your traditional ice cream cone. There are a number of good restaurants and pubs close to the beach where you can sit outside and enjoy super fish and chips. Of course there are a number of more upmarket restaurants but for families the places by the sea front are perfect and good value. From Broadstairs you can walk along the promenade all the way along the cliffs to Margate. Broadstairs is accesible from London via the M2 motorway and then by taking the A299 passing Whitstable and Herne Bay along the way. Even in the winter months Broadstairs is worth a visit - you will just need to wrap up a little warmer! For more information on where to isit during your holiday in the UK visit myUKbreak.
