Discover Kent's Award-Winning Beaches Today

If you're a local or planning a visit to Kent, you're in for a treat! Six of our beautiful beaches have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag Award for 2026. This accolade, bestowed by Keep Britain Tidy, highlights beaches with outstanding cleanliness, quality, and facilities. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication of local councils, volunteers, and businesses who ensure our beaches remain pristine and welcoming.

Among the celebrated beaches are Botany Bay and Joss Bay in Broadstairs, Minnis Bay in Birchington-on-Sea, Ramsgate Main Sands, Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey, and Tankerton in Whitstable. These beaches aren't just about sun and sand; they're a testament to our community's commitment to maintaining high standards and providing safe, enjoyable environments for everyone.

Thanet District Council has had an impressive year, securing four Blue Flags and ten Seaside Awards, thanks to their year-round efforts. Meanwhile, Sheerness has also shone brightly, earning both a Blue Flag and a Seaside Award. It's a fantastic time to explore these coastal gems and appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping them in top condition.
