Folkestone Sunny Sands Beach is a popular sandy beach located close to the centre of town and next to Folkestone Harbour. As such all the facilities are close by including cafés, pubs, shops and toilets. The fact that this is one of the closest sandy beaches to London means it can get quite busy in the summer. And the sand here is great for making sandcastles - it must be judging by the entries to the annual sandcastle building competition! There is a seasonal, independently run lifeguard service at Sunny Sands on Saturdays and Sundays, between the hours of 10am and 4pm from April until September. Postcode CT19 6AU

Sunny Sands is a sandy beach that gets very busy on hot Summer days. There’s a kiosk serving drinks, ice creams, etc and there are toilets.

There is a sandy beach in Folkestone with an excellent water quality rating. The walk to the beach is lovely, past the old harbour with the famous Chummy’s shellfish stall and an interactive water fountain!
