Margate Main Sands is a wide sandy bay in the centre of town, a short walk from Turner Contemporary, Dreamland and the Old Town. Build sandcastles, hire a deckchair and stay for the sunset over the bay. It is a classic seaside half day for families, with cafés and seafood stalls nearby.

Crab Museum is a small, playful, not-for-profit museum in Margate devoted to crabs and other decapods. Its displays of specimens and found objects mix humour with a strong message about the sea, which makes it a fun stop for families and curious adults. Allow up to an hour, then carry on exploring Margate.

Turner Contemporary is a free contemporary art gallery on Margate seafront, in a David Chipperfield-designed building overlooking the main sands. See the latest exhibition, join an event or workshop, and take in the sea views from the café. It is an easy rainy-day choice and pairs well with a walk along the beach.
