Its great for a Sunday morning walk from No 9, along the beach or cliff top all the way from Palm Bay bandstand. Takes about 30-40 minutes. They have a lovely sea view and the whitebait is delicious. Staff can be grumpy sometimes but the sea views and walk are worth it.

Its a very relaxed place to go in your walking boots straight from the beach. The pizzas are freshly baked in their big clay oven and are crispy, thin and delicious.

Stunning location on the harbour arm looking out to sea and back to Ramsgate harbour. We love the calamari with aioli and the king prawns in garlic plus the pianist playing on Sunday lunch times!

Lively modern Italian / Greek restaurant with good food. Can be noisy in the evenings as popular with groups. I haven't been for awhile but some of my guests have really enjoyed it.

New restaurant in town. Not been yet. Menu looks very interesting but it is quite expensive. There is a cheaper, taster menu at lunch time. My friends like it.

The place of our iconic chalk stack on the beach which has been promoted by Visit Kent in London. Looks like Greece! Right next to the Botany Bay Hotel, a lovely walk from our house.
