Perfect spot for crabbing.
Plenty of parking.
Great place for watching the kite surfing.
Small play park area.
A lovely beach to watch sunsets. Ample parking spaces free of charge. Good spot for beach walks. There is a nice restaurant/bar along the beach as well.
A beautiful spot and great for the kids. Play park and beach with a bar and restaurant just up the road.
Minnis bay is a beautiful place to visit, the cafe there is resonable and the food is good, they make a great latte, the beach is nice great views, i went there to go paddle boarding and had a great day,
Always nice here. Not so much for the youngsters off the beach but a lovely beach, some nice places to eat and free parking
Lovely beach. Quiet. Plenty of parking, can get a good cup of tea and bacon roll. Even a dog friendly area :)
Really liked Minnis Bay. Kept meaning to go and have a look, finally did and we will definitely be going back.
Sandy beaches with easy access, completely different to Herne Bay and Margate. There are only a few shops etc so a much quieter place, which won't suit some people...
The Tidal Pool is not as big as the one in Margate and don't know how busy it gets at peak times, but will be going back to find out.
The road along the coast raises up along the cliffs and gives beautiful views across the area and to Margate.
The only real negative is there are only, I think, two roads in, which is probably why it is quieter here.
I don't want to encourage too many people to go, as I'd rather it stayed quiet!!
We had a beautiful day yesterday. The weather was glorious and the beaches were practically empty (although it was whilst the kiddies are at school). Lovely stroll along the promenade and an awesome lunch at The Wave. We stayed until sunset and captured some amazing photos.
There was ample free parking along the parade, but if not there is a pay & display car park.
The Wave cafe/restaurant is highly recommended. Food was lovely and staff are friendly. There is another bar/restaurant opposite, but we didn't try that one.
Also, when the tide is out there is a huge rock pool for the little ones to explore. So check the tide times to be able to do this.
However, now for the bad comments. Be prepared for the awful smell of seaweed. The smell can be very, very strong and smells like manure. It can be very off putting.
When the tide is out make sure you be careful of the stranded jellyfish left on the beach.
The other problem is there could have been more toilets, as there are only a couple of places with portaloo's (which were clean), but some of them were locked, leaving only one at each end of the promenade, apart from in the cafe and bar I presume.
