游览贴士
Start at the visitor centre
Visit Thanet's visitor information centre is in the Droit House on Stone Pier in Margate, beside Turner Contemporary.
Use the Loop bus
The Loop runs between Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate seven days a week; Stagecoach sells a Dayrider ticket for all its Thanet buses, according to Visit Thanet.
Walk the bays
North of Viking Bay the coast passes Stone Bay and Joss Bay on the way to Botany Bay; check tide times before walking on the sand below the cliffs.
Check Dreamland's season
The amusement park is seasonal: when we checked in November 2026 Dreamland said its 2026 ride season was over and the park returns in spring 2027, with indoor events in winter.
Check museum hours
Small museums such as the Dickens House Museum and the Crampton Tower Museum do not open every day: check their own websites before you go.
