This is the life. While Kent is packed with fantastic seaside weekend getaways, it is hard to look past the charms of delightful Deal. Located less than 10 miles from Dover, Deal is just about as postcard-perfect as England gets, a picturesque town of charms and whimsy, not to mention good food and better conversation. The town has been a magnet for artists and writers over the centuries, and history tells us that creative types know a seaside stunner when they see one.
While we don’t want to lurch too far into the cliches, Deal really does tick the ‘something for everyone’ box. Looking for a romantic couples getaway? A family adventure? Or maybe you want somewhere beautiful for some solo time? No matter the inspiration, you’ll find it in spades in Deal. Maybe we should have said you’ll find it in buckets and spades, but that would be too obvious. These are the best things to do in Deal right now.
