Margate, Joss Bay & Broadstairs Full-day Kent Coastal Gems Transport from London

from £35

Margate, Joss Bay & Broadstairs

Journey to the Kent coast with this seaside day trip from London. One of the closest coasts to London, and with beautiful sandy beaches to boot, it's no wonder that the Thanet seaside resort towns of Margate & Broadstairs have always been a popular choice for those looking to escape the city and breathe in the sea air. Suitable for couples, solo travellers, and friend & family groups, this seaside day trip is a an excellent opportunity to reconnect with those close to you, explore a new area, or to spend a day relaxing in natural surroundings. Keen surfers heading to Joss Bay are also welcome to bring along their surfboards - kindly just let us know in advance so we can provide a vehicle with plenty of underground storage space. We offer pick-ups from a few transport hubs in central & west London (Earls Court, South Kensington, Victoria, Kings Cross & London Bridge) to make it as convenient as possible to join our luxury coach & driver in the morning. Then we set off from our final pick-up point, London Bridge, and make our way to the Thanet coast in Kent. We offer 3 drop-offs at different beaches quite close to each other: Margate, Joss Bay & Viking Bay (the main beach of Broadstairs). You are welcome to get off at whichever beach you choose, or even to walk from one beach to the other or to other beaches between them like Botany Bay or Kingsgate Bay, kindly just discuss this with the driver so he can give you the right time and place to meet for the return journey back to London. This weekend day trip is transport-only and our Euro 6 low emissions engines are a better choice for the environment than driving your own car. In a year with limited public transport options, booking a budget-friendly ticket on our coach is the perfect way to get to the well-loved sandy beaches, independent cafes & restaurants, & quirky shops of Margate & Broadstairs.
