This unique place has a style all its own. set within 5 min walk to the golden sands of Margate beach and 5 mins walk to the old town this apartment really stands out.
Margate is a town on England’s southeast coast. It's known for its sandy beach. Near the Harbour Arm stone pier, the modern Turner Contemporary art gallery has rotating exhibitions. Dreamland Margate is an amusement park with vintage rides. Millions of seashells decorate the Shell Grotto’s underground passages. In a former police station in the old town, the Margate Museum has local history displays.

Things to do...

Head to the Turner Contemporary for a free fix of cutting-edge art or support local creatives at Kent’s oldest art gallery Lovelys. Then discover the Grade I-listed Shell Grotto, where 4.5 million shells make up its mosaic walls. Who created it and why? If that sparks an urge for more subterranean delights, then head to the recently reopened Margate Caves. This former chalk mine has been an air raid shelter, smugglers' cave and a wine cellar and, pre-pandemic, hosted silent discos and toddler meeting classes. As Margate as it gets.

Relish every brunchy bite on the top deck of The Bus Café, get toasty at harbourside shack Cheesy Tiger or sample some seriously fresh seafood platters (or the obligatory seaside fish and chips) at Seaview restaurant Buoy and Oyster. Finish with superior gelato from Melt.

Top up on caffeine at Margs-meets-Scandi hotspot Mala Kaffe, a short hop from the Turner Contemporary. If you need a second cup, then be sure to check out the Margate Coffee Shed. It does a fine line in sweet treats too. Sip on a glass of red in eclectic surroundings at Fez and, if you’re partial to a pint of real ale, try The Harbour Arms. It’s a former fisherman’s hut with superb views of the glittering vista that inspired seascape master JMW Turner. For more excellent booze, head around the harbour arm to The Two Halves for sunset views over the beach.

Spend a penny at the arcades before braving the wilds of the Walpole Bay Tidal Pool, the largest saltwater pool in the UK. The swimming community in Margate is super-friendly, so you’re bound to find encouragement if the water seems too chilly. Once you’ve had a head-clearing dip, pop over to the Tom Thumb Theatre for eccentric productions and experimental live music.

Ascend to hipster heaven at retro clobber stores Peony Vintage and Handsome Freaks. Pick up perfume and skincare products at eco-loving store Haeckels. Its soaps and toiletries are made from seaweed foraged along the coast. What's more, it offers free goodies to shoppers who come in armed with a bagful of rubbish collected from the beach. Do your bit for the planet and you’ll come away smelling fabulous as well as feeling good.

If you only do one thing...

Skip over to renovated retro theme park Dreamland. Make a beeline for the scenic railway, test your balance in the colourful indoor Roller Room, spend all your loose change in the arcade and take a selfie by the Hollywood-esque Dreamland sign. You know, just to prove you were there. Keep an eye on its website for the latest on the gigs and shows that have made it even more popular in recent years.
