Joss Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the many beautiful bays in Thanet. The promenade gives way to sand for a short stretch and running across it means you can carry on round to Walpole or Foreness point.

Walpole Bay Beach and Promenade Steps

Highlight • Beach

Useful steps from the promenade on the beach to the Queens promenade above it. The next ramps to get up and down are a hundred or so metres away.

Haeckels Community Sauna

Highlight • Structure

Haeckels Community Sauna is a free mobile sauna situated next to Walpole Bay Todal Pool. Great for warming up after a swim in the Tidal Pool or the chilly North Sea. It’s run by kind volunteers.

Margate Wastewater Pumping Station

Highlight • Structure

This might 'just' be your typical wastewater pumping station. But it also serves as an ugly yet welcome landmark to loop your runs and rides or maybe just carry on a little further to the next bay of many pretty bays. In the marvellous Thanet sunsets it can, sometimes, look not half bad.
