Location Summary
Ideally situated between Westgate-on-sea and the ever-regenerating Margate, Westbrook appears to have something for everyone. A stone’s throw from Margate train station and the high speed St Pancras link, regular bus routes to Canterbury and a walk away from the vibrant Margate “Old Town”, Westbrook is a great place to base yourself. If you enjoy beach life without the hustle and bustle of our welcomed day trippers, then why not try Westbrook Bay with its golden sandy blue flag award beach and café serving everything from fish and chips to a Sunday roast! Those who enjoy more energetic pastimes can enjoy the seafront mini-golf course, miles of open clifftop green spaces and of course a variety of water-based activities. Westbrook is popular with London commuters, families wanting to be in the catchment area for local schools and couples looking to retire by the sea.
