This is officially the best beach near London for summer 2026
"Tankerton Beach itself extends for 1.5 miles and is a quieter alternative to Whistable Beach right in front of the main town. Blanketed with pebbles, backed by grassy slopes and dotted with rock pools, its clean and calm waters make it a delightful spot for some wild swimming."
"The Street is a unique 750-metre sand spit that pokes out from the main beach and is only exposed at low tide. It's named such as it allows visitors to walk towards the horizon with the sea either side of them."
"To get there, Londoners can jump on a train from Victoria, Cannon Street or St Pancras International to Whitstable. All of those journeys take roughly 70 to 80 minutes."
Londoners can find beautiful beaches within a 90-minute journey. The southeast coast offers sandy bays and dramatic cliffs. Tankerton Beach in Whitstable is highlighted as a top destination, featuring a 1.5-mile stretch of pebbles and a sandy area at low tide. The unique Street sand spit allows visitors to walk towards the horizon. Travel options include a train from central London taking 70-80 minutes or a car ride of about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Local dining options include Ossie's Best Fish and Chips and various eateries on Harbour Street.
