Beautiful beach with sand. Paid parking near the beach. Further up a beautiful marina with gorgeous boats and yachts and restaurants.

A pleasant day at the beach with family, fun and food. Plenty of space to set up picnic blankets and allowed some music to dance, dance, dance. Toilet facilities close to the beach and plenty of bins around. Restaurants at the front to have lunch afterwards. Only downside was the seagulls - very bold in taking our food.

It was perfect for me! Even in less than ideal weather, I was able to relax wonderfully at Ramsgate Main Sands. The long walk along the beach to the yacht marina was just what I needed after a long drive. The peace and sound of the waves did me a world of good. I was particularly impressed by how clean the beach was. I can imagine it's even more beautiful here in the summer, but it was great even now. It was the perfect way to unwind before continuing to Dover for my ferry. Cheers.
