What to do in Dungeness beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Dungeness beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The beach is absolutely breathtaking, and I discovered some gorgeous seashells during my visit.

The beach is quite remote, but offers stunning views of the channel. Occasionally, you can spot seals and dolphins, and fishing is decent. It is situated near a nuclear power plant, and there are small shelters that give off the impression of people seeking refuge. The beach is a stop for the Dymchurch railway, so it can get crowded at times with visitors, despite its vast expanse.

The landscape of this beach is truly one-of-a-kind and has a timeless quality to it. I absolutely adore it.

This place is absolutely incredible! I've had the opportunity to go on a couple of fishing trips with my dad and nephew, and although we've only caught whiting and hounds so far, we were fortunate enough to spot dolphins and seals.

Is it a stony desert, this amazing place? It features vast stretches of shingle, scattered with sea kale, a unique blend of structures including cottages made from railway carriages, designer houses, Derek Jarman's house and garden, a decommissioned nuclear power station, and a couple of lighthouses, all seamlessly blending into the landscape. Additionally, there is a small fleet of fishing boats launched from the beach. The Brittania pub and the Pilot offer food and drinks, and there is also a café at the railway terminal. This area attracts bird watchers, fishermen, sightseers, and holidaymakers, yet the beauty of it lies in the fact that it is rarely overcrowded with visitors. It is simply a place worth revisiting time and time again, as there is always something new to discover.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Dungeness beach (Kent) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Dungeness beach (Kent) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Dungeness beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
