What you can do when you spend spring in Thanet

Everything may not be back to normal just yet, but there's plenty to enjoy across the Isle during spring.

Get Active

Winter has passed, so now's the time to get out there and get active. The Viking Coastal Cycle Trail is the best way to discover Thanet and catch the best views. At the same time, the Isle has some excellent golf courses such as Stonelees, North Foreland, and St Augustines, or you can take on one of the many mini-golf courses across the coast.

The beaches and bays are perfect locations for getting active too, you can enjoy runs and walks along the bays, or you can get in the water to swim, surf, and sail.

Relax

After what has been a hectic year, make spring your season to recover. There is a range of yoga, Thai chi, pilates, and meditation practices on the Isle for you to use and unwind. If you're looking to enjoy a day at the spa, you will not need to travel far either, with many options to choose from across the Isle.

Just being beside the seaside can help you to relax, studies have shown that living with sea views can lead to greater mental wellbeing and lower levels of psychological stress.

Across Thanet, you can enjoy some stunning views, fantastic nature reserves, and the best locations to catching the sunshine. There are plenty of coastal views to enjoy from bays such as Kingsgate Bay, Botany Bay, Viking Bay, and Minnis Bay, as well as the picturesque sunsets at Margate Sands.
