The Location
Kingsgate sits on one of the prettiest stretches of the Kent coast - a string of chalk-cliff bays linking the seaside town of Broadstairs to the art and food scene of Margate. Just over an hour from London by train.
Botany Bay's chalk stacks and rock pools are at the foot of the cliffs. Kingsgate Bay is five minutes on foot. Joss Bay surf school, the North Foreland lighthouse, and the Viking Coastal Trail are all on the doorstep.
