Whitstable

This is one of the most popular spots in Kent, partly due to Marks excellent shop being on the seafront! It is also home to Chris Calthrop and on a windy day if he's not in Maui chances are he will be hanging off the bottom of a Blade 3 some way above sea level! Best sailed at mid to low tide it is best sailed in NE to NW although it can be sailed by the more experienced in E through to SW depending on where you launch from. At low tide there is a patch of dead flat water called The Street, created by a spit they used to have speed sailing competitions here! This makes for some excellent kitesurfing. Watch out for the dinghys and londoners as this place gets very busy in the summer months with it being just an hour and a half from the big smoke!

Getting there: Head to Whitstable and drive through the town to the seafront.
Parking: Numerous car parks along the front.
