Just a shack on the beach, but open year round in all weather, great for breakfast, beachside fish'n chips, coffee, tea, and apparently the best fresh doughnuts on the Kent coast. And of course, fresh oysters. Get there early, mid morning or after 2pm, and you'll beat the rush, the queues get long around lunch time!

This hidden gem is a must to visit. You'd want to buy everything there - out of this world sourdough loaves (my fave is the multiseed) - cinnamon buns, cakes and other pastries and cakes, all freshly baked in-house. Coffee here is top-notch too

Parks & Nature

the iconic, colourful Tankerton beach huts are here, great for long walks and cycling and at low tide you'll be able to see and walk out on to "The Street" - a shingle strip exposed at low tide, extending 750 metres out into the sea from Tankerton beach.
