Broadstairs Walks & Route Maps

This shorter Broadstairs route follows the curve of the coast from the bustle of Viking Bay to the quiet sands of Dumpton Gap and back. It begins with classic seaside charm - beach huts, cliffs, and fishing boats - before wandering past Victoria Gardens, where lawns and flowers frame wide views across the bay.

As the route continues, the noise of the town fades into the sound of waves and seabirds. Dumpton Gap offers a more peaceful change, its broad beach and chalk cliffs showing a wilder side to this stretch of the Kent coast. A lovely walk for anyone wanting to stretch their legs and soak up Broadstairs’ timeless seaside atmosphere.

This longer Broadstairs walk follows the coastline in both directions, linking the town’s lively heart with its quieter edges. It begins at Viking Bay, where fishing boats and beach huts set the classic seaside scene, before climbing past the clifftop lawns of Victoria Gardens and on to the peaceful sands of Dumpton Gap.

After looping back to Broadstairs, the route continues north towards Stone Bay - a wide, open beach backed by chalk cliffs and rock pools. With a mix of bustle, calm, and coastal views, this relaxed circular route captures the best of Broadstairs’ seaside character in one satisfying stretch.
