Seabrook Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach along this coastline stretches for miles and is fantastic for paddling, swimming and sunbathing. This section is just at the end of the Royal Military Canal, between Hythe and Folkestone. Take care of the tides here as they are absolutely enormous at springs and quite large at neaps.
