Whitstable is a favorite destination for beach lovers, history buffs and, above all, seafood lovers. This lovely stretch of Kentish coastline is famous for fresh oysters and other seafood and foodies will have a great time "sniffing out" the Whitstable Fish Market and finding the best seafood restaurants.

The town has a historic harbor and history buffs can also visit the Whitstable Castle, which dates back to the 1790s and is set in beautiful gardens, and then tour the Whitstable Museum and Gallery. You can spend a few hours exploring the Whitstable Alleyways, once the domain of pirates and smugglers. The pebble beaches of Whitstable are great for walking and watching the sunset while the sailing and windsurfing is excellent offshore.
