Viking Bay, Broadstairs

From the pre-Christian world of antiquity, in addition to the Celtic legends in Europe, mainly the Roman and Greek ones with their numerous deities have been preserved in the collective memory. The namesake for this low tower built on the coast, "NEPTUN", referred to the god of the sea in Roman legends, and POSEIDON corresponded to him in Greek mythology. In art, i.e. in paintings or as statues, both are usually depicted with a trident, which is, so to speak, their common trademark.

Margate Harbour Arm

Highlight • Viewpoint

Visit the bars and cafes on the harbour arm for some mid ride refreshments.
A little detour in the old town at Margate is also worth a visit.

Margate Steps

Highlight • Monument

These curved steps are a great spot to stop and soak up the atmosphere of Margate main sands, especially at sunset. There are plenty of cafes and bars to get snacks to consume on the steps.

They form part of the Margate Flood & Coastal Protection Scheme. The design was inspired by artist Christopher Tipping who conceived them and deliver them with the team responsible for the scheme.

Today we walked from Margate to Broadstairs. The path always goes along the coast. It was a mixture of beach, concrete and paths. Because of the heat, the beaches were quite busy. For us, it was pleasant to walk with the sea breeze. Then we walked back inland. It was noticeably hotter.
