To the coast fancy broadstairs but I am open to other suggestions not doing Dorset as to far so anywhere anyone can recommend along The Kent coast

My kids are 2 and a half and 11 sandy beach is a must but don't mind it being quiet without any rides

    One problem re Broadstairs is that if the weather forecast is set fair, traffic jams can be a real pain in the arse!
    It's a lovely little place.

    30+ degrees on Sunday. Broadstairs will be insanely busy. The beach is small and as nice as it is, will become hugely crowded. Also when I went down there earlier this month there were 2 hour limits on the parking meters.

    Going to Broadstairs on Sunday. Might see you there.

    Apparently The Fayreness has a family day with plenty going on if your kids want to get away from the sand for a few hours.

    Broadstairs. I'm there now. If u do head there on sunday,don't go to the main part (Viking bay), go to botany bay. Plenty of parking and it doesn't get uncomfortably busy.

    Bit of a treck for you mate but Filey or Whitby up here in Yorkshire, both lovely places. Avoid Scarborough though, it's full of bagheads, skanky single mums and nonces.

    Westgate - on -sea is great if you want sand sea & rocks for the kids to go crabing. Best part is you can park right on the front FREE. Not much there other than a decent cafe but great for young kids.

    Spent the day down there a couple of weeks ago. Lovely sandy beach, got there about half nine and didn't leave until seven. Britain is great when you get the weather.
