Quaint seaside town 90 mins from London overlooked for neighbours
Quaint seaside town 90 mins from London overlooked for neighbours: Ramsgate in Kent is positioned as a frequently overlooked coastal destination despite being under 90 minutes from London and offering three beaches, local attractions, and history. The town is often overshadowed by nearby resorts Margate and Broadstairs, but is noted for its “lovely clean sandy beach,” with access to Ramsgate Main Sands, Western Undercliff Beach, and the East Cliff Promenade and Beach. Western Undercliff Beach is described as close to the Royal Harbour Marina and even with “no facilities,” which some visitors said suits a quieter, more secluded visit. Ramsgate Main Sands and the East Cliff Promenade are described as family-friendly by reviewers. The Royal Harbour Marina received royal status from King George IV in the 1800s and is presented as the only UK harbor with official royal status. Beyond beaches, the town is highlighted for WWII-era subterranean tunnels, known as “Tunnel Town,” and regional activities including boat trips by Sea Searcher, wind-farm vessel tours, and angling trips.
