Today the the Marine Conservation Society has published its latest guide to the state of the UK’s beaches. They assess quality of the water and how sewage discharge is treated, recommending beaches in its Good Beach Guide only if it exceeds the guideline European water quality standard.
Although the news isnt good for all beaches, Kents beaches have faired comparatively well.
Our favourite beaches are all on the Conservation Society Recommended List. They are:
Hythe – Pebbled beach with sandpit – 10 minutes from Elmfield
Joss, Stone and Botany Bays – picturesque sandy bays, some rock-pools and fossils with varying levels of facilities – 50 minutes from Elmfield
Dymchurch, St Marys Bay- Sandy Beach (until high tide) 20 minutes from Elmfield
