Westgate-on-Sea is a peaceful corner of the Isle of Thanet, perfectly placed for exploring. Along its leafy streets, you’ll find the iconic Grade II-listed Carlton Cinema, a beautifully preserved vintage venue dating back to 1910, alongside quaint cafés like Staple and pubs such as The Bake & Ale House, a cosy nook serving a great selection of local beers.
Coastal paths trace the shoreline north to Margate and south to Birchington, offering quiet strolls, sea views, and glimpses of chalk cliffs and open green spaces. For longer walks or a scenic cycle, follow the Viking Coastal Trail to Reculver, where the dramatic ruins of Reculver Towers hint at the area’s ancient past.
Many of our holiday lets in Westgate-on-Sea are just moments from these special spots. For more choice, our Margate cottages are nearby, giving access to more of the Thanet coastline and local life.
After a day exploring the coast or neighbouring towns, your Westgate-on-Sea holiday cottage is the perfect place to relax and soak up the serene seaside charm of Kent.
