HYTHE BEACH, Hythe
Hythe Beach is actually three different pebble beaches joined together. They consist of the main beach itself, Fisherman’ s Beach and Foreshore Beach. Fisherman’ s Beach, as the name suggests, is a real working beach with plenty of fishing boats and fishermen using it at all times. Rather wonderfully, this is where you can find the Fishmongers’ Café which sells the catch of the day – and it doesn’ t get fresher than having been brought to shore within metres of the café itself. Foreshore Beach is sometimes closed as it is close to the MOD Hythe firing range. When the range is active, the beach is closed to the public, but when it is open it is part of a lovely walk that takes you all the way to Tankerton.
Hythe Beach is accessible by steps or via concrete slopes, and it is split into zones depending on what it is you want to do there – there is a swimming area, and a boat launch area. And if you want to launch a personal craft you can do so at the fabulously named Smuggler’ s Slipway.
Hythe Beach has a number of different car parks within a short walk, as well as a café and restaurant. The toilets at Hythe are open from Easter until October.
