About

Westbrook sits on the Thanet coast where a strip of sand and shingle meets a low concrete sea wall and a promenading path. The beach is marked by a regular run of timber groynes reaching into the channel; behind the wall a mix of houses and small commercial parades leads into residential streets. The name recalls a small stream that once crossed the flats; traces of that drainage pattern still shape some lanes and gullies. Local shops, cafés and a community green serve day-to-day needs and provide routes onto the seafront.

Garlinge lies a short walk inland and is made up mainly of interwar and later housing, with clusters of older terraces around its original centre. There are primary schools, a community hall and playing fields that are used by local clubs and families. A handful of long-established local traders form a small high street rather than a single shopping centre, and bus services connect the area to the wider district. The overall pattern is residential streets giving way to coastal access within easy walking distance.
