Margate attractions
The seafront and clock tower area are close to Margate rail station and is a typical example of a busy but 'tacky' English seafront with a string of amusement arcades, chip shops and bingo establishments. The beach is frankly a let down but is nonetheless sandy and proves popular with Londoners who often come for day trips.
There is a link with the artist Turner and a visitor centre close to the harbour where you can examine the facts behind his links with the town.
Tucked away in one of Margate's most squalid back streets is the shell grotto, a mysterious cave decorated from floor to ceiling in shells.
