About

Eastcliff ward occupies the southeastern edge of the coastal town of Margate. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing along its grid of streets. Its defining feature is the long, straight promenade that runs alongside the sandy expanse of Margate Main Sands, offering direct views across the North Sea. The grade II listed tidal pool known as the Walpole Bay Tidal Pool is a notable landmark here, built into the rocky foreshore.

The ward includes the headland of Foreness Point, which marks the northern limit of the Thames Estuary. Cliftonville, within the ward, borders the central areas of Margate. The landscape is largely urban, with some green spaces including the elevated lawns of the Fort Crescent gardens. The area's geography is defined by its chalk cliffs, which give the ward its name, and the coastal path that follows their line.
