Going for a swim
Whitstable has three beach areas. Tides make a huge difference in whether you can take a dip as the low tides can take the sea way out. Tankerton slopes accessed along the sea front from the Continental Hotel is least effected by the tide so good for a swim most of the day. East beach in between the Continental Hotel and the Lobster shack is great for water sports with paddle boards and kayaks for hire as it has no beach groins and not tide impacted too much. West beach at the end of Nelson Rd near Windy Corner Stores is tide dependent but great for a swim and the closest to Ivanhoe House
