KINGSGATE BAY

A sheltered sandy cove backed by high white chalk cliffs, and best known for its sea caves which are reputedly some of the best in the country. Overlooking the southern end of the beach is Kingsgate Castle, built in the 1760s for Lord Holland. At the other end is the Captain Digby public house, also built by Lord Holland and now a family friendly pub with great views over the beach and a children’s play area. No lifeguard service but popular with families. Parking limited but not impossible.

Dogs allowed on the beach all year round.
