Botany Bay and Kingsgate Bay, Broadstairs, Kent - Is this the best beach near London? Beach day trip

Botany Bay and Kingsgate Bay have been my favourite beaches in the UK so far. Cornwall is famous for it's beautiful coast and beaches, but if you're living in London and are on a budget, a trip to Cornwall is something you can't afford not only because travelling in the UK is quite expensive, but also because commuting to Cornwall requires hours. Many hours!
So, for all Londoners, let me tell you that there is more beach life beyond Brighton. There is a perfectly sandy beach, with beautiful white cliffs and quite warm-ish water, just under 2h30 away from London. And it's not far from the popular Margate beach. I present you Botany Bay and Kingsgate Bay, located in Broadstairs, Kent.
For me, this is, without a doubt, the best beach near London, and a perfect location for a beach day trip from London.

Broadstairs and Botany Bay are some of my favorite places in England. The next time you're in Broadstairs, you should definitely stop by "The old Curiosity Shop" and enjoy a cream tea. It is only a 10-minute walk from the train station. This cafe is my absolute favorite place in Broadstairs. And as strange as it sounds now, when you are there you should definitely visit the toilet.

One thing about North Kent coasts is they often have very murky water due to being next to the Thames/Medway estuary which discharges a lot of murky river water into the sea, somewhere like Cornwall would have much clearer water most of the time.

Broadstairs is much nicer than I expected after visiting recently for the first time.

Nice video . When I went to England in 1992 most of the beaches I saw were pebble beaches . These days they are showing all these sand beaches in England . I am sure sone of them are natural but some sand might have been imported from overseas. My parents country Cyprus did that for some of their beaches . Lovely video and thank you .

The closest the Loop will take you is Friends Corner just outside Northdown Park. As you say your best bet is either an 8A or 8X or a 33, which runs from Cecil Square in central Margate right through Broadstairs and on to Ramsgate seafront.

I think the best to me is Bournemouth but Botany bay is still beautiful 😇
