About

Broadstairs South encompasses the town's historic core and coastal stretches. The area includes the sweep of Viking Bay, with its sheltered beach flanked by a stone harbour and promenade. The streets immediately behind, such as Harbour Street, contain many original Georgian and Victorian buildings, now housing independent shops and eateries. This part of town is the traditional centre, hosting regular events and markets on the paved areas near the seafront.

Away from the main bay, the coastline becomes more rugged, leading to the chalk headland of Foreness Point. The cliff-top promenade, the Viking Coastal Trail, connects to neighbouring bays. A notable local feature is the Dickens House Museum, located on the author's former holiday residence. The area's layout reflects its development from a fishing settlement, with narrow lanes leading down to the water from the higher ground of the town.
