On an extremely hot day in August, we decided to travel down to a beach. We wanted to go somewhere we never been before and not too far from London. We therefore picked Margate. I know, the news kept saying how busy it was however we went there bright and early around 11am and there was no-one so we picked the best place and made our territory so we could socially distance! Unfortunately, Dreamland wasn't open so not ride for us this time.
I didn't know there was a swimming pond right next to the sea which was very convenient for when I just wanted to read a book. Once we settled in, we went to dip our toes. It was full of seaweed and algae which rather put me off swimming in the water but that didn't deter the kids. Once the kids pulled me through the algae and seated, the water was so refreshing and clean in the hot weather.
We needed a break from the sea so we headed for lunch and the seashell grotto. The grotto was small but stunning. The grotto was made entirely of shells with a bit of history to it too. It was reasonably priced and not too far away from the seafront. The gift shop wasn't like any other gift shops with quite nice and rare gifts.
We then returned back to our place which became quite full however since we had our borders, nobody was close to us. We spent the rest of the afternoon in and out of the water and before we knew it, it was time to go home.
It was a day well spent!
