HERNE BAY | Full Seaside Holiday Town Tour of Herne Bay Kent

HERNE BAY | Herne Bay is a classic British seaside holiday town between Whitstable and Margate on the north coast of Kent England. Herne Bay offers a great seafront and beach, amusement arcades, a historic pier and a nostalgic charm, attracting holidaymakers seeking a relaxing holiday escape steeped in tradition.
The two-mile stretch of shingle beach is the star of the show, perfect for long walks, building sandcastle masterpieces (or pebble creations, if that's your preference!), and soaking up the salty air. The English Channel unfolds before you, and you might even spot the Red Sands Fort, a stoic reminder of World War II, standing guard offshore.
But Herne Bay's appeal goes beyond the beach. The heart of the town throbs with a classic seaside pulse. Herne Bay Pier juts out over the waves, a haven for amusement arcades promising pixelated adventures and claw machines overflowing with tempting prizes. Feeling lucky? Try your hand at bingo - a quintessential British seaside pastime - in the pier's old-fashioned hall. Evenings are often enlivened by music wafting from the bandstand, transforming the atmosphere into a scene straight out of a postcard.
Beyond the pier's lively offerings, Herne Bay offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of some Kent resorts. The pace here is relaxed, perfect for unwinding on the beach with a good book, indulging in leisurely picnics with loved ones while the sound of waves lulls you into serenity. Foodies can explore the local restaurants, sampling fresh seafood caught right off the Kent coast.
And if you crave a touch of history or a change of scenery, Herne Bay's location is ideal. The historic cathedral city of Canterbury, with its magnificent architecture and rich heritage, is just a short journey south. Head east, and you'll find yourself in Whitstable, a charming oyster town famous for its maritime traditions and fresh seafood delicacies. Herne Bay acts as a springboard for exploring the best Kent has to offer, all while providing a comfortable and relaxing home base for your adventures.
So, if you're looking for a quintessential British seaside experience with a generous helping of nostalgia, a relaxed atmosphere, and the opportunity to explore the wider Kent area, then Herne Bay might just be your perfect holiday destination.

😎Love the Kent coast.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Can see why!

[@TullyHook]

Good video, I do like Herne Bay. That big old building you pan to at 25.00 appears in the film, "The Medusa Touch" (1978), starring Richard Burton. It's featured in scenes of his character's early life. I think there are also some scenes around Reculver, a few miles along the coast.

[@eamonnevans8005]

I intend to visit Herne Bay for 3 days in October. Can anyone recommend a good sea front hotel? Thanks :)

[@davidneale7202]

It’s one of the cleanest seaside towns in Kent, you’ve obviously never been there, it’s peaceful and trouble free, plenty to do and plenty to look at. The pier is a gem, the town is spotless.
