Whitstable in General Reviews
Newest Review: ... day stay in the town I was eager to return home. There is just not enough in the place to hold your attention for longer than a day trip. The beack is no better than a working fishermans shore. I would no more sit on the beach or swim in the sea than I would at the industrial end of Tilbury dock. The town is trying hard to be attractive but is pulled down by the uneducated and unemployed that live there. Regular groups of rowdy youths frequent the high street and harbour street at night with no police presence in the town. Tankerton Slopes is quiet with just the shingle beach and a few dull beach huts facing the dingey shore. I found Whitst... more

Well excuse me for disagreeing with the previous reviews of Whitstable. Yes it's ok for a day trip or even a weekend but after 3 days of my 7 day stay in the town I was eager to return home.

I am a big fan of the place and try to visit at least a few times each summer. I live in Maidstone which is about 30 miles or so from Whitstable. The journey is remarkably simple, A249 then M2 and you're there, and only takes about 40 minutes or so, making it perfect for a day out when the weather is nice. Parking: Parking in Whitstable is a little bit of a mixed bag, sometimes you can find a space in one of the several small carparks that are dotted about (and some are quite well hidden) othe times you ...

Having lived in whitstable, (and Tankerton) all my life I feel I have seen enough to be able to review this twon quite thoroughly. Whitstable is tranditionally a fishing town, based around the harbour which in recent years has grown in touristy size quite considerably. This growth in tourist inductry has lead to a lot of over priced gift shops appearing in the town, especially harbour street. The shops are great to browse round as they contain interesting, more unique purchases than you get from the usual chain stores.
