Dumpton Gap, just south of Broadstairs in North East Kent, England is a quiet and long flat sandy beach that attracts dog walkers and those looking to get away from the main beach. Very picturesque and great for those who love to beachcombe where crabs and shells can be found amongst the seaweed.
Another one of the Broadstairs beaches in Kent, Viking Bay has a long stretch of sand and a long coastal walk leading to the other beaches.

Great stay at the Yarrow. The reception staff were fabulous. The spa was a lovely relaxing treat after a long walk. Shame the steam room was out of order and we weren’t told. Breakfast also really good and we weren’t hurried out when it finished. Would thoroughly recommend.
