It's an invigorating experience for couples or anyone who appreciates dramatic coastal scenery.

At the base of the cliffs, you'll find Dover's shingle beaches. While not sandy, they're great for a bracing walk along the water's edge, collecting unique pebbles, or simply enjoying the sea air. The area near the Dover Seafront promenade offers easy access to the beach, along with cafes and kiosks for refreshments.
