Great place to eat and drink throughout the winter months and nik nacks to buy.
This made a good morning out, there were Christmas market stalls which made it a pleasant stroll.
Nice food outlets. And lovely shops with very different gifts.
This quaint short pier has all the things you want on a pier, amusements, fishing/crabbing from the end, huts for the local vendors to sell their wares, tea/coffee huts, ice cream parlour and information boards. A really enjoyable hour or so spent here.
Plent of small eateries and a bar , also some cabins selling craft and art products .
Can't be beaten as a place to sit down with a cold drink and watch people on a warm sunny day!
Great public space. Good food choices. Sea views. Seating areas. Toilets. Fun fair too. Worth a family visit. Also holds open air concerts.
Parking is free from October to March so its much easier to pop here for an afternoon for fish and chips and a dog walk along the prom. The pier is a short walk but lovely on a sunny day.
Nice pier. Some stalls selling craft nits and places to eat and drink.
Well cared for little pier, with just enough to entertain the family for a morning or afternoon
Beautiful clean town. Pier lively and interesting. Public toilets are pretty grim though
IM here because IMA building a wall and doing painting and decorating for somebody I know do you need some done cheap
Tagged along on a No politics ride out with some really cool people
Great pier had a few doughnuts. Very clean lots of sheds with original crafts
Today I managed to get to the sea for the first time this year and only for an hour. Oh what a glorious hour I had. I missed the sea and the sand/stones between my toes. Thank you Herne Bay you made my week. I didn't go to the pier but I enjoyed seeing it.. and I got to see the original Zoltar Speaks from the movie "Big"!!! Very happy boy lol.. 🏴☠️❤️🔥🌞😎
Lovely place for kids and for adults too to have some fun, hot food, ice cream, some rides and arcade games.
What a transformation since I was last here. That awful monstrosity of an ugly building at the end had been removed. On its place are small beach hut shops selling all manner of wares plus a fun fair and coffee shops.
Lovely old pier. Nice to take a stroll along. Great mixture of rides, amusements & little outlets.
Nice and tidy little seaside town with the uks old buskers singing songs from the 1960s. Pebble beach with enough room to park ones derrière should the tide and weather permit. I like the fact they have kept the old feel about the place and not destroyed the historical value it clearly holds. Kent should be proud of this little gem. 👏👏👏
Free pier. Short but quite interesting. Small arcade of gift shops etc.
