Not if you like shell grotto's, I think you're in for a treat.

Correct on both counts. I suggest that you head for Broadstairs instead. Much nicer. It's very, very close so you'd have no problems getting there.0 -
Then there's always this cocker-ney classic for the ipod.

Down to Margate, we'll have a pill of jellied eels at the cockle stall
Down to Margate, we'll go on the pier and we'll have a beer aside of the sea
Down to Margate, you can keep the Costa Brava, I'm telling ya mate I'd rather have a day down Margate with all me family
I'm going to bunk off and join you for beer and eels on the prom. Or maybe I'll go to Brighton and listen to Mandy putting a positive spin on the West Pier and watch McBrown holding back the tide.If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.0 -

So follow my advice and go to Broadstairs! It's 10 minutes down the road and far nicer.
I was there at the weekend and the sea is still very pleasant to swim in, so hope you packed some trunks.0 -
I am here on work you know - not pleasure !
its very sad walking round all these ex-resort towns, most depressing
(the job is in broadstairs tomorrow but this is where the hotel I have been booked in is)0
