Margate Main Sands is the town's most iconic beach, a wide crescent of golden sand right in the heart of town. It's bordered by the lively promenade with cafes, amusement arcades, and the world-renowned Turner Contemporary art gallery. Directly behind the beach, you'll find the historic Old Town, a network of narrow streets filled with independent shops and eateries. This area is superb for families, as the beach offers plenty of space for children to play, and the proximity to amenities means everything is within easy reach.

For those looking for a slightly different beach experience, Cliftonville, just to the east of Margate Main Sands, offers access to Walpole Bay Tidal Pool and Palm Bay. Walpole Bay is a vast, historic tidal pool, superb for swimming at high tide, while Palm Bay is a quieter, sandy beach popular for rock pooling at low tide.

During this vibrant period, the town is bustling with activities and events, making it a lively destination for families and couples alike. All of Margate's attractions, from Dreamland amusement park to the Turner Contemporary, are operating at full capacity, often with extended hours. It's a fantastic time for traditional seaside fun, and many hotels offer special summer programmes and entertainment.

September presents a wonderful alternative for those seeking a slightly more relaxed pace while still enjoying pleasant weather. With average temperatures still comfortably in the mid-teens, the beaches remain inviting for walks, and outdoor dining is still very much an option.

What beach activities should we do in Margate?
The best beach activities to do in Margate revolve around the main sandy stretches of Margate Main Sands and Walpole Bay, offering a mix of classic seaside fun and more great experiences.

Margate Main Sands is the most iconic beach, right in the heart of town. It's a wide, sandy bay superb for traditional beach activities like building sandcastles, sunbathing, or taking a dip in the sea. You'll find deckchair rentals available, and it's directly adjacent to Dreamland, making it very convenient for families. The beach is overlooked by the Turner Contemporary art gallery, giving it a cultured backdrop.

Families will particularly enjoy Margate Main Sands because of its ease of access and the shallow, calm waters, which are great for children. There are also plenty of cafes and ice cream parlours right on the promenade, so refreshments are always close by, and public toilets are readily available.

For those looking for something a bit different, Walpole Bay is excellent for tidal pool exploration. Located a short walk east of Margate Main Sands, this beach is home to the largest saltwater tidal pool in the UK. At low tide, the pool is revealed, providing a contained and relatively calm area for swimming, even when the sea might be a bit choppier.

Couples or solo travellers might find Walpole Bay appealing for its more tranquil atmosphere compared to the bustling Main Sands. It's a nice spot for a refreshing swim, a leisurely walk along the promenade, or simply enjoying the sea air away from the main crowds.
