For some going to Sandwich Bay is something they wouldn’t consider as there is a toll charge for getting to the main bay by car. The current charge is £7 and they state:
”Residential Areas and Beach closed 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise.”
For us this is more than adequate. The charge can be paid at the toll booth or on the sandwich bay website. There is no parking charge once you are at the beach and there is plenty of space to choose from – I doubt that you would be unable to find a space.
This shingle beach is vast and well over a mile long meaning that you will get a generous space for you and your family to settle in for the day. You will need to remember to bring your own food and drink as there are no shops or a cafe. However there are toilets, although these could be a fair walk depending on where you parked.
We had a a great couple of days swimming in the sea, playing rounders and relaxing.
Got a Kent place to share? If you know a venue, a walk or a small Kent secret you think belongs on My Jones Life, I’d love to hear about it.
