The town not much more than 80 miles from London with its soft sandy bays, delightful narrow streets and its maritime history makes for Broadstairs to be one of Kent's most popular holiday venues.

Walk the length of harbour street and step onto the soft sands of Viking Bay, listen to the sea lapping around the harbour walls and sample to usual seaside delights Broadstairs has to offer

Rummage around some of Broadstairs old book or souvenir shops, eat out in the stress free aura of local restaurants, and breathe in that olde-world feel.

High on the cliff top overlooking the town stands Bleak house of Dickens fame, a retreat for the writer where in the relaxed atmosphere of a typical Kent seaside town he wrote David Copperfield.
Broadstairs has seen many famous visitors over the year stay and sample the clear seaside air.
In the past Broadstairs was not the tourist attraction it is today it has a far darker history, Smuggling was the local trade for most of the inhabitants, one can only assume most of those delightfully properties that capture the visitors eyes may have not been built with honest money.
Most of the seaside towns in olden times apart from fishing there was no work so locals did what was necessary to survive.
Today this corner of Kent's economy is growing year by year with many of the top london stores setting up locally.
Broadstairs is now a very sought after area to live in and buy property.
