Due to its vibrant buildings, stunning ports and picturesque environments, British coastal towns are often likened to the enchanting Amalfi coast of Italy. Holiday makers looking for a cost-effective alternative to Italian gemstones may want to consider Ramsgate in Kent.
With golden sandy beaches and scenic coastal strolls, it's a dream for adventure travelers. It is a factor that it enjoys the warmest weather in the UK, and it is no wonder it has long been a popular option for British vacationers. Ramsgate also offers all the typical British seaside attractions, thanks to fish and chip shops, arcades, ice cream parlours and pubs lined with promenades.
One of the major highlights is undoubtedly the Royal Harbor. It is the only port in the UK to be recognized for its status after being impressed by George IV's visit to a coastal spot.
The marina is decorated with a series of colorful waterfront buildings reminiscent of what Positano saw on social media. The rows of boats filling the Ramsgate port are equally impressive – and again, it's easy to see why it's often there compared to Italian holiday hotspots.
Meanwhile, the main Sands at Ramsgate, with its golden beaches and charming water, is our favorite place when the British weather adorned us with sunlight and warm temperatures. Conveniently located near shops and restaurants, Blue Flag Beach offers amenities such as toilets, parking and deck chair rentals.
Dog owners should note that dogs are not permitted on the beach from May 1st to September 30th. This summer, until July 13th, and from 10am to 6pm from July 19th to September 7th, Lifeguards will be on the beach.
For those craving adventures rather than simply relaxing with towels, there are activities to try out in the area, including scuba diving, kayaking, boat trips, paddleboarding, kitesurfing and many other water sports. There is also much to do for land lovers, such as bird watching, playing rounds of golf, and using various sports centres to exercise.
There are also beautiful hiking and cycling trails with routes suitable for everyone, whether after a slow, scenic walk or a more challenging hike (and then reward yourself with fish and chips!).
To be honest, when the UK weather gets sour, often during the summer months, Ramsgate offers a wealth of museums and galleries to explore many museums and galleries.
Popular days include a visit to the Ramsgate Tunnel, an underground maze that stretches over three miles of town. Guided tours are available to delve into interesting history while absorbing the impressive surroundings.
