Things to do in Margate
Once considered a tired seaside town by some, Margate is now buzzing with retro cool following a influx of artists, surfers and hipster types.
The town's 15 beaches remain a major attraction (particularly the chalk stacks and empty sands of Botany Bay on the coast towards Broadstairs), but the re-developed Dreamland pleasure park is a big draw too.
The active among you will enjoy walking or cycling the 32 mile Viking Coastal Trail between Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate.
The quiet lanes and beautiful sea views are the perfect cure for the breakneck pace of modern life. Margate's old town is a pretty fusion of cobbled streets and coffee shop culture.
Or for something a little different, the Turner Contemporary art gallery houses some excellent modern art and enjoys a fine position on the bay.
