Tonbridge - all beaches

We had a fantastic time at Thorney Bay Beach one sunny day, enjoying a fun-filled afternoon with the kids. The sand was lovely to walk on, and we all had a blast!

Upon my first visit to this beach, I was delighted to discover that I would happily return. The coastline is comprised of both sandy and pebbled areas, so if you have a preference for sand, continue your search. It is important to note that the tide does come in quite far, so it is best to keep an eye on your belongings. However, this only lasts for a brief period, and we took advantage of the opportunity to grab some food before returning to the beach. Although it was quite busy on the day we visited, it was not excessively crowded, and there were numerous restaurants in close proximity for lunch or dinner. It is undeniable that this beach is one of the finest in the United Kingdom!

We reluctantly strolled down to the beach after a mediocre dinner. We had made the mistake of coming to this town, and now we were stuck here. As the sun began to set, the beach became inundated with people trying to capture the last moments of daylight. The view was overrated, and the restaurants were nothing special. We made the mistake of trying the Lobster Shack, which was a complete waste of money. Instead, we should have eaten elsewhere and come to the beach just for the sunset and a walk. The beach itself was nothing to write home about. It was rocky and uninviting, lacking any real charm. Despite this, it was a popular spot for couples, families, and tourists alike. Even after dark, it was considered a safe place to be. While there were plenty of people around, it never felt crowded. Parking was available along the beach, but if you didn't mind a walk, there were more carparks available in town.
