About

Margate Town occupies a coastal position within the Thanet district. Its central area is defined by the sweeping curve of Margate Main Sands and the tidal inlet of the harbour. The town's layout extends from the seafront inland, with streets containing a mix of retail and residential buildings. The area includes the Old Town's narrower lanes near the harbour arm.

The area is closely associated with the Turner Contemporary gallery, a modern structure situated on the seafront promenade. A notable local feature is the Dreamland amusement park, with its vintage scenic railway rollercoaster. The seafront also contains the shell grotto, a subterranean passageway decorated with mosaics. Margate's economy remains connected to its coastal location and seasonal tourism.
