Whitstable’s mix of working harbour, shingle beach, conservation areas and historic buildings makes the town one of north Kent’s most rewarding small destinations to explore. The Norman castle and gardens, the Playhouse Theatre, the Horsebridge Arts Centre, the Museum and Gallery and the famous oyster yawl all sit within easy walking distance of one another. Browse our directory of Whitstable attractions below.
Many of Whitstable’s attractions are run by independent trusts, charities and local volunteers – the Castle and Gardens, the Playhouse, the Museum and the Horsebridge Arts Centre all rely on community support to keep their doors open. Beyond the town centre, Wraik Hill Nature Reserve, the Crab and Winkle Way cycle route and the Seasalter saltmarsh extend the visitor offering for anyone wanting to combine the seaside with longer walks or wildlife spotting.
