Not famous for its food, but a must-visit for it's location. You may or may not fancy the food, but to buy something and sit and enjoy the view on a breezier day, from behind their glass wind breaks, is well worthwhile. Great for watching the kids play on the beach!

Not gourmet food, but good simple and CHEAP fare, with a fantastic location! I had a great breakfast there (poached egg on cheesy toast) and an OK Americano, for under £5

Sightseeing

Take a promenade along this victorian clifftop green... with spectacular views over the Channel (see France on a clear day) and the best of Victorian architecture behind you... make sure you walk as far as the Grand and why not stop there for tea?

Golden sands, the perfect beach for families... shallow drop off. Wonderful also to walk here early in the morning at low tide, and explore the harbour when it's empty!
