About

Westbrook is a coastal ward located on the western edge of the town of Margate. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing from different periods. Its main feature is the long, straight promenade and sandy beach that faces the Thames Estuary. This seafront is lined with a concrete walkway and a series of small cafes and kiosks.

Inland, the streets are quiet and centred around the local parish church. The Westbrook Bay area is notable for its wide, gently sloping beach, which reveals extensive sand flats at low tide. The ward is bordered by the outflow of the Margate Flood Prevention Tunnel, a significant piece of local infrastructure that channels water from the town out to sea.
