Overview

Campsites in Whitstable

Things to do in Whitstable

You can enjoy the freshest seafood possible in the town’s little harbour and take yourself into town for an artisan ice cream. The charm of this town is that it doesn’t have large-scale attractions - just the tiny Whitstable Museum, bijou art galleries and independent shops though it’s summer oyster festival attracts the crowds. Just out of town is Whitstable Castle (more quirky family home than defensive structure) and Tankerton where grassy slopes give way to photogenic beach huts along the shore. Further afield Herne Bay and trendy, bustling Margate are a short distance along the coast for amusements and the retro theme park Dreamland while the historic sites of Canterbury with its mighty World Heritage-listed cathedral are just six miles inland.
