The town is known for its incredible coastline and is a popular destination for those looking to visit the beach in the summer. Kent has many beloved beaches and towns, which are often overlooked due to famous neighbours such as Whit Trouble.
Herne Bay is a traditional British seaside resort that has been adored by visitors in the classic, typical style. It takes just 90 minutes to get to Hern Bay by train from the capital, and it's an easy journey to make with regular service.
One TripAdvisor visitor said, “A lovely beach! Serene, quiet, take care of you. Before you hit the pebble, there is a beautiful garden.
“As you walk further along the coast, they're almost a private beach area and there's ocean defense. It's a really nice area.”
The beach features two miles of coastline, with sand and shingle beaches, colorful beach huts, coastal gardens, piers and bandstands.
The pier, once one of the longest in Britain, suffered negligence, but following the demolition of the pavilion in the 1970s, British Life says, it took a new life.
A visit to Canterbury said, “Hern Bay has a lot to do all year round. It has an 80-foot Victorian Clock Tower along the coast, while Waltrop Garden has a fantastic flower display, especially for those who want to relax and enjoy the ocean views, especially at a picnic.
“The bright and colorful pier is the highest point of a family's day with an old-fashioned fair venue, Helter Skelter, unique retail sheds and food outlets.
However, the beach is not the only attraction of Hern Bay, and is also known for its vast green space.
If you're looking for greenery, one must-see is Herne Bay Memorial Park, the largest open space in the town centre.
With formal planted gardens, trees, lakes and several sports facilities, it is a popular place to enjoy nature.
If you're looking for somewhere to enjoy the sun this summer, Hern Bay could be the perfect place to enjoy your stay.
