I spent a memorable day in the Kent coastal town of Whitstable recently. It was a cold but wonderfully bright, sunny day while the sea was tempestuous and invigorating.
This seaside resort basks in glory compared to many around Britain’s coast. It has many regular London visitors who enjoy the rustic pebbled beaches, a pretty town studded with independent shops, not to mention its oysters and seafood.
It feels alive but with an old charm, and no air of neglect and sadness like its rival to the east, Margate.
It was a beautiful day for photography, with the powerful sea, details of seaside architecture and the beachside providing rich food for the camera.

Maravilhosas imagens!
Obrigada Evelyn!
Spectacular and thoroughly enjoyable.
Thank you very much, James. Always pleased to oblige.
Well done Mike – a great collection of images that really capture the essence of an English seaside resort.
Thank you very much, Noeline. And what a fine example Whitstable is, even in November on a fine day.
Have often been in this area but never to Whitstable.
I’d highly recommend it, Diane. A great place to wander around.
Such amazing photos ! I love it.
Thank you very much, Luke. You’re quite a fan of photography, it seems. This has to be applauded!
A beautiful set of images, Mike. A nice place nicely summed up! :)
Thanks very much, Richard. I suspect the blue sky and bright sunlight helped that day!
Beautiful photos on a nice and sunny day!
Thanks Koos :-) Yes, I certainly picked the right day to visit.
