St Margaret's Beach

St Margaret's Beach is a picturesque location situated in Dover. The beach is known for its stunning views of the sea and the iconic White Cliffs of Dover. The natural characteristics of the beach include a mix of pebbles and sand, and it is backed by cliffs. The beach is also known for its clean shingle and is often compared to the beaches in Cornwall. The beach is accessible by a footpath from the Bay Hill bus stop. The path, although steep, is manageable with seats along the way for resting. However, the beach can also be reached by car, although the road leading to the beach is narrow and twisting with a few hairpin bends, which may be challenging for larger vehicles. There are several amenities available at the beach. These include a toilet facility, although cleanliness may vary. There is also a cafe restaurant and an ice cream stall for refreshments. For those interested in exploring the area, there are cliff top walks that offer awe-inspiring views. Parking is available at the beach with a pay and park system. There are plenty of parking spaces a few metres from the beach, making it convenient for visitors. The beach is not typically crowded, and visitors can enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach towards the cliff. While swimming is possible, certain parts of the beach are rocky or pebbly. There is also a pub on the seafront for those who wish to relax and enjoy a meal. In addition to the beach, the nearby St. Margaret's Village and Pine Gardens are also worth a visit for their picturesque views.
