Rich in wildlife and offering views of the famous White Cliffs this local nature reserve is definitely worth a visit for the scenery and walks (some challenging!) . 3 martello towers, pitch & putt golf course.
The area is a great site for rockpooling when the tide is out – and is also one of the best sites in southern England to go fossil hunting.

Recently restored, with many great street food stalls, The Big Greek Bus a favourite of ours! Perfect for a stroll out to see, fantastic views. Live music most weekends from spring to autumn. Lighthouse champagne bar is definitely worth a visit.

Our favourite place for fantastic homecooked food. Great variety, well priced and always delicious. Highly recommend the lasagne, or the Sunday Roast but be sure to book as it is very popular locally. Food served until 9pm every day.
