Known locally as The Artificial Beach, this used to have beach huts and other facilities back in the days before they built the new road to the port. The sand, I believe originally dredged from the English Channel, is gradually being washed away, exposing chalk rock pools at low tide. There's still plenty for castle building and comfortable lazing in the sun between some of the deteriorating groynes. It does, however remain a haven for locals, escaping the bustle of Ramsgate Main Sands and is often calmer for swimming, being closer to the shelter of Pegwell Bay. There are no facilities here any more, but you can negotiate the sloped paths or steps up to the top of the cliff, where you'll find public toilets and a café. Finally, it's a popular spot for fishing at high tide, with many anglers taking advantage of the (currently) free parking.

Love this beach it’s my favourite one much better than Ramsgate main Beach. You can walk for miles at low tide right out to Pegwell Bay nature reserve. There’s an old tidal pool too which the dogs love, and the beach is surrounded by chalk cliffs so you can generally see the gulls flying onto the cliffs and if you time it right there are some cliff caves which have been around for many years. So if you want a nice long walk with or without the dog then I highly recommend this beach. Parking is nearly always possible but does get busy in the summer. But it is sometimes easier to park up top and walk down the steps to the beach if it’s really busy. Toilets are available at the old boating pool that is situated above the beach.

I love it here for the rockpools when the tide is out. In the summer it's not the most crowded and this is rather out-of-the-way. It's more suited to the pastimes of the locals than the Main Sands I'd say :)

Was nice but could be maintained better. Had a really nice time on the sand beaches.

Nice for walks. Not much sandy more like muddy near water

Absolutely beautiful beach. Spent fond memories of remembering my parents.

Deserves to be a 5 star beach and probably once was but neglect and underinvestment has brought eventual decline. No facilities other than on street parking. Slipway for kayaking. Sandy beach with rocky outliers. Avoid swimming after heavy rainfall, tunnel road drains into the bay 😢 top of beach nearest port often stays dry at high tide, nearer slipway high tide reaches sea wall.

Great place to have a walk with the beach and the boating pool and in the summer it's a pickup point for the open top bus for the coastal tour

Excellent pictures brings back old memories thanks to all those who posted

Nice stretch of beach away from the main drag. Good for a swim and chill!

A lovely spot to relax away from the crowds.

Relatively small sandy beach. Free to park and the beach is easily accessible. No proper toilets but a couple of portaloos installed. No cafe or shop.

There are signs prohibiting pedestrian access to the road running along this beautiful sandy beach! The view of the cliffs is beautiful, too. The lift is out of use. There are steep steps to go up the cliff. Beware of HGVs using the road.

Good beach and the sea is so nice and a great time to have fish and chips here.
