This long beach is plagued by a significant amount of plastic pollution throughout its entire length. It is evident that certain locals are making efforts to clean up by gathering debris and leaving it near the council bins. However, it is apparent that the magnitude of the issue requires intervention from the government and local council.

It's a great spot to visit, and it's conveniently located not too far from London.

I went for a walk after New Year's, and there weren't too many people. It was an amazing day with lovely weather, and we really enjoyed ourselves. The beach was very clean, and there were plenty of benches where you could sit and enjoy the view. I highly recommend visiting.

The beach is a bit random, with a mix of sandy patches and lots of pebbles. When the tide goes out, there is mud. The beaches are quite windswept, offering open skies. There are some interesting opportunities for beach combing, such as finding sea glass, amber, and the occasional shark tooth.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Sheerness 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 Sheerness 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 Sheerness 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.
