Dymchurch beach 10/10, Toilets 0
Jul 2021
We've been twice before last time was 2 yrs ago. We intially went to Margate, that was packed so came here. Great beach at top end IE we parked in St Marys Bay car park and you can park the car against the sea wall and still see your car from the beach and easy access.
Lovely place for familes, couples, friendly people, no real show off's noted other than driving through the twon. We've not really been to the beach area by the shops that is much more crowded.
10 out of 10 for the beach, footpath/wall, nice clean.
The big negative is the toilets it was a hot day, we were there for about 4 hours the gents smell awful of p but I used and ensured I was back on the beach to wash of the p smell from sandals. As a bloke it's easy to p but my wife and our daughter-in-law wanted to use the lades for a quick p but the smell meant they would not go in there..
Great beach to watch people go by, mind you own business and very family orientated the bits I refer to but let down by the toilets.
In fairness to this beach, we had a similar experience with the toilets at Margate 2/3 years ago on a hot day and left a review. Shame on those that mange the toilets. I don't believe it was the the toilet users fault but the hot weather kicking up a stench and no cleaners within a million miles..
Btw, lol, on the way back home near the town, just before Tesco shop there is another carpark and that was full and had cars parked on the pavement, dozens of them, all ticketed on a Sunday. The reason i lol'ed is they should not be anti-social and park on pavements. iw all 4 wheels.
Great beach, long beach so you can always sit away from people if you wish and nich, shallow incline so generally safe for non swimmers/etc. Plenty of parking other than the hottest days/bank hols.
I hope I've helped.

Nice town with lovely beach
Jul 2021
Visited for the day while staying in New Romney. A lovely sandy beach which seems to go on forever. The tide goes out a long way. There’s a promenade going along the length of the beach which is great for walkers and cyclists.
Plenty of places to eat and drink.

Gorgeous sandy beach

Visited for a couple hours, teenagers went swimming & said the sea wasn't too cold. Lovely beach to sit on or there are lots of steps or benches as well.

Great beach for families, perfect in the evening too.

Beautiful clean beach, pebbles and acres of sand, clean water, stunning views across the Channel.
Plenty of parking, close to loos. Showers could be better. Need more litter bins as people haven't taken their litter home.
Could you provide more ways to pay for car parking as the signal/WiFi isn't that great, i.e. contactless and make the telephone number clearer too.

Lovely beach!
May 2021
Lovely sandy and pebbly beach. Our trip would have been so much better in the sunshine and we would definitely have gone for a paddle in the sea. The high street is a short walk away and there are lots of ice cream parlours, gift shops and cafes. Dymchurch amusements is also a short walk away and well worth visiting.

Lovely day in sunshine

Beach is first class when tide is out lovely and clean. Really good fish and chips to be had and my girls enjoyed the amusement park rides. Free entry a bonus. Only negative is the music in the amusement park is really too loud.

I don’t know. But they have a strict policy in allowing dogs on the beach during the summer time.
Hi, is this beach busy now considering the weather and is it possible to socially distance
Is there any wheelchair access to the beach and are there any disabled toilets open/available at this time?

Hi. At the end of the High Street just before it ends at the sea wall there were disabled parking spaces very close to a toilet block. However, I do not know if this block includes a disabled toilet and whether or not they are open at the present time.
Is the beach open to visit in Aug 2020? Are there toilet and cafe facilities?

I’m going today for the first time... any top tips of where to go or the best area of beach to head to? I have three children. Thanks

It’s all pretty sandy so if you park in the big carpark and head down the road where the Codfather fish and chip ship is turning left you’ll find yourself at a ramp pretty quick to get up to the main beach and then another ramp very close by to get down to the beach. There are a lot of steps so this was a good way up for us as we have a double buggy. It’s also close to a little shop for drinks and ice creams and the toilets. One thing I will say is we got there at 10 and by midday the tide was in and we only had the concrete steps to sit on. Also the beach was sandy but soaking so bring changes of clothes and lots of wipes!

We took our dog on the beach , there were lots of dogs :) they just have their own area - From the start of May until the end of September, dogs are not allowed on the beach between Sycamore Gardens and The Martello Car Park, from the car park onwards they can go on the beach as much as they like :)
Are there donkey rides this half term week
