The crunch of shingle underfoot and the rhythmic pull of tide — Sandy Bay puts you right on the water's edge, where the day begins with salt air and the cry of gulls over the beach.

This is a site for tourers who want to wake up beside the sea, whether you're travelling as a couple, bringing the family, or touring with a dog in tow — though it's worth checking their pet policy when you book. With dedicated pitches for caravans and campervans, it suits those who carry their home on wheels and want a coastal pitch without fuss. The name tells you what you're getting: sand, sea, and the simple pleasure of parking up within earshot of the waves.

Facilities aren't detailed in the listings, so it's best to ask ahead what's onsite and what you'll need to bring. Campfires may be allowed — check when you arrive, as beach sites often have seasonal rules. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay with the shoreline as the main attraction: a proper seaside pitch for those who love the coast more than the campsite itself.

European walking route E9, Rye to Dover

Follows the dramatic White Cliffs coastline through Saxon Shore Way sections, offering coastal panoramas and historic ports. Terrain varies from clifftop paths with steep ascents and descents to flat promenades – definitely challenging for buggies and requires supervision with young children near cliff edges. Dogs welcome but must be under close control on livestock sections and sensitive clifftop areas. Worth it for stunning Channel views, iconic white chalk formations, wartime heritage sites,

King Charles III England Coast Path: Camber to Folkestone

Follows the dramatic White Cliffs coastline with gentle inclines through Rye, Romney Marsh and up to the iconic cliffs near Dover. Mostly flat along the marshes, then moderate climbs approaching the chalk cliffs. Suitable for families on foot but not buggies due to coastal terrain and steps. Dogs welcome on leads. Spectacular coastal views, historic Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway crossings, and unforgettable cliff-top walking make this a quintessential English coastal experience.

Corridors to the countryside

Meanders through varied countryside terrain with gentle to moderate inclines, linking urban edges to rural landscapes via footpaths and bridleways. Suitable for families with older children who can manage uneven ground; not buggy-friendly due to stiles and field paths. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Offers a proper taste of Kent's agricultural heartland with hedgerows, woodland sections, and open farmland views—ideal for escaping suburban surroundings without travelling far.
