Whitstable, Kent England


Whitstable is a town on the north coast of Kent in southeastern England. It is situated east of the Isle of Sheppey on the River Thames estuary shore, about 4 miles (6 km) west of Herne Bay.

I visited on May Day 2023. Some enjoyed the beach whilst others were sailing.




 



The town grew up in the 18th/19th centuries as a fishing port, general harbour and seaside resort.





Whitstable is famous for its oysters which remain an intrinsic part of this sea town’s character and are celebrated every July at the Oyster Festival.

You can see the prices in the photo from May 2023.






 
I was tempted to go for a boat trip but didn't.








It looks like a popular place for eating and shopping.






A percussion group drew a crowd. Here's my video clip from YouTube.



And here's a short clip of children playing cricket.
