We were looking for a quiet beach to sunbathe, read and relax with some lunch in a form of a picnic.
We found the beach to be clean and tidy, there was plenty of parking available and toilets near by.
There is a shop also nearby if you may have forgotten something.
There were cute little beach huts lined up along the beach which was all great as I did love a little bit of photography.

The energetic can walk from Dungeness to Dymchurch via Littlestone. We visited Dungeness and then drove to Littlestone and had a lovely return walk to St Mary's Bay. The beach is stony but there is a path at the top of the beach (beware of cyclists!!) which makes walking easier. We spent time watching the seagulls and a seal offshore and had a picnic on the beach whilst collecting shells. Probably not an ideal beach for youngsters (no sand) but a lovely place for walking and breathing in the sea air.

Honestly, we were staying in St Mary’s Bay so didn’t really visit Littlestone for the beach itself. It is however a beautiful spot with some great facilities especially the kids play area for those with little ones.
We mainly stopped here for ice creams… if you see the ice cream van here… stop!

On a sunny, Spring day, this is just the place for a bracing walk. When the tide is in, though, the beach that is left is shingle, which is not that easy to walk on and can be very tiring. Fortunately, there is a small, level walkway at the back of the beach, but this is used by both walkers and cyclists, so you have to watch out. Free parking is available on a rough unmade road behind the beach at the end of Maderia Road.

Went for our morning walks here while staying at New Romney caravan park. Very quiet at this time of the year. We've only met a few other families and some dog walkers.
There is a playground and a gym behind the beach huts, so the children were happy.

This beach is mostly mud when the tide is out, deep sticky mud, and the sea is brown. Thin sliver of sand and mostly peddles nearest to the car park. Nice views though and easy to park.
Can't say we'll be racing back anytime soon.

I found this little beach by accident while our for a drive with the family.
After a quick inspection we decided to park up and spend a few hours here paddling in the water and walking along the beach.
It was a very hot and sunny day but the breeze blowing helped cool us down. The views around the coastline are amazing and you can see for miles.
Not sure if it was because of the time of year but it was not very busy which made it even more enjoyable as these wasn’t the usual squeeze you find at other beaches.
We found the local park for when the water got a little to much which was a nice distraction.
Overall I can’t find anything negative about this little beach and I hope to visit again over the school holidays and my daughter really enjoyed our day out here.

Littlestone should have been Bigstones...
But as you walk towards Dungeness it quickly becomes Sand Dunes so don't worry.
This beach is full of cockles so you find yourself bent over the sand for hours at a time to plenty of factor 50 needed.

While in Littlestone looking out to sea at low tide you can see the remains of the Mulberry Bridge that was built in parts to help with landings at Normandy in ww11 but some came loose and that is how this part beached where it is now. Today it causes a danger to boats so has lights in all the corners and therefore resembles a fort out in the sea.

Can you take a horse on this beach? Presuming there are restrictions around easter, but are they allowed at non restricted dates?
Written April 21, 2019
Yes, there are regularly horses on this beach :)

Little stone and greatstone beaches are in Kent near to New Romney. People do bbq on the beach and there are bins for rubbish. There is s restriction to taking dogs on the beach in the summer months.
Written July 26, 2018
Yes, but officially not during the Summer months. However, no one ever checks so as long as you clear up after them it a great place to walk them.
