Latest reviews on Ashford's beaches

Camber Sands
10 Kiran Patel

The beach boasts a stunning shoreline and ample space for sunbathing and swimming. Despite being popular during warmer summer days, the beach doesn't feel overcrowded. However, reaching the beach from the car park requires a walk over the dunes, which may pose a challenge for some.

Sunny Sands beach
10 Nora K.

I'm absolutely smitten with this beach - it's easily my top pick in town and draws crowds consistently. The sand is soft and the water is shallow, making it a safe spot for children. Plus, the harbour arm provides shelter from any rough waves, unless there's a storm.

Greatstone beach
10 Aria

This serene and peaceful sandy beach may not have much on the seafront, but that's precisely what makes it so charming. It's never crowded, allowing you to stretch out and enjoy the vast expanse of sand all to yourself. The tranquil atmosphere is perfect for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. So, if you're looking for a quiet and relaxing day at the beach, this is the perfect spot for you.

Hythe beach
8 Aria Santina

This charming spot is perfect for dining, but the shore is composed of pebbles and not conducive for swimming due to its steep incline. It is better suited for watercraft activities.

Folkestone Beach
8 Sophia Grace

This beach is absolutely stunning! Although it can get quite crowded, the beauty of the surroundings makes it worth the visit. While the main area of the beach is pebbly, there is a section close by that boasts soft, yellow sand. The ocean water is a breathtaking shade of blue that will leave you feeling mesmerized. It's simply a lovely place to be. I would definitely return to explore the sandy part of the beach and soak up more of the natural beauty.
