Margate in Kent is one of a collection of seaside towns located within the ‘Isle of Thanet’ which is not an island, but instead, the northern corner of Kent which juts out from the rest of the mainland.  One of the Isle of Thanet’s major selling points is that this area is home to more blue flag award winning beaches than anywhere else in England.  With a seaside location and a long stretch of sandy beach, a self-catering holiday in Margate is likely to appeal to those looking to spend time on the coast on a family bucket and spade holiday or to those looking to take a coastal holiday in Kent.  Click on photos for more information about coastal and self-catering cottages in and near Margate.
