We are thrilled to announce that Herne Bay Pier has been officially shortlisted for the Seaside Heritage Network’s 2026 Bucket and Spade List!

We want to claim the number one spot and celebrate the very best of the British seaside, but we cannot do it without you. Voting is open now until the end of August. It takes less than five minutes to back your local pier and help us bring this prestigious award home to Herne Bay.
