Margate: undoubtedly the holiday centre of the South Coast. It is a vibrant, colourful town, renowned for its exciting nightlife and set around one of the most spectacular beaches on the coast. It has something for everybody! A wide golden beach with brilliant waves for swimmers and surfers, a special pier for fishermen, and it is within walking distance of Margate’s bustling CBD with its restaurants, shops, cafés, galleries and clubs.
During the holiday seasons the main beach is the venue for exciting festivals with Mardi Gras, music concerts, beach competitions of all sorts, flea markets and exhibitions. The annual New Year’s Eve festival and party is legendary, with thousands of revellers partying til dawn.
