Margate used to be nice but now its abit of a hole...which is a shame cos it has got a decent beach.

My in laws live 5 minutes up the road and the difference where they are is marked!


Older relations said that it was a beautiful lidl seaside town - bloomin shame Frowner

I think we should bring back all those old seaside towns - proms, piers, edwardian bathing suits

In fact my lidl icon photo was taken in Margate Nod

It's gone to pot Croc....used to the day trip of a life time to go down to Margate,
now Shake Head...
Was the big dipper featured, I read it is listed , and can't be dismantled.

Spent many a happy day in Dreamland/ Ben bon Brothers.


Used to be the highlight of the year when we were kids...all aboard a double decker Red Bus and of to Margate for the day....

My in-laws live up the road at Westgate and that is really nice...as is Broadstairs which is a few miles the other way...

Lovely beach at Westgate, we used to take the kids for Picnics there in the summer.

I love Broadstairs, Stone Bay which rests between Broadstairs & Joss Bay is a lovely beach, Steep stairs down to a wonderful quiet bay, A bit of a sun trap as well. Cool

Joss Bay is where my husband lost his first wedding ring...I love that you can go miles out to sea and its still only waist deep...

We always took the kids to Westgate cos it didn't cost a fortune...you don't have to pay to park, theres only a couple of cafes and the small pitch and putt so you can have a good day out only for the price of an ice cream if you want.

All the arcades will put me right off somewhere...

I went to Great Yarmouth once...I thought that was an awful place...it was like Deptford on Sea!

same here i hate the money clanging and the noise the look the very feel of those places bring it right down.....

why dont they have a huge indoor soft play area ...lets face it the weather is not our best asset so give families something to go to where the kids can play and get worn out .....

has anyone ever been to disneyquest?.....a fee to get in and floor after floor of unusual interactive games .....has to be run well to and not let teens run wild....but again indoor andf something for the kids....

a really nice lido on the front
