Fishing boats under lights on the Viking Bay Beach, Broadstairs, Kent, at night. The sea, beach huts, cliffs and houses in the background.

This magnificent horse shoe shaped bay is the main attraction in Broadstairs. The choice holiday destination of Charles Dickens, he even wrote an affectionate piece on the town, Our English Watering Place. The long sandy bay, cliff top promenade and boardwalk make this bay a timeless thing of beauty.
