About

Seasalter is a coastal ward situated directly on the northern edge of Canterbury district, bordering the Thames Estuary. The area is characterised by a long, exposed shingle beach and a linear settlement pattern following the coast road. Its landscape is largely defined by low-lying marshland and agricultural fields, with a history of oyster fishing that has significantly shaped its identity.

The community is closely connected to the water, with a active sailing club and a popular beachfront pub serving as local hubs. A distinctive network of narrow, raised lanes, known as 'The Street', runs inland through the old marsh, providing access to scattered homes and farms. The area maintains a quiet, residential atmosphere, separate from the busier tourist centres further along the coast.
