About

Folkestone Harbour is a working port with a historic seafront. The harbour arm extends into the Channel, sheltering fishing boats and a marina. A restored railway line now carries a passenger service along the quayside.

The area includes a beach of shingle and chalk flats. A notable feature is the series of outdoor artworks and sculptures integrated into the coastal walk. The harbour's functional character remains, defined by its breakwaters and maritime activity.
