Spend your vacation in a cottage in the coastal village Whitstable
The oyster trade is celebrated each year at the Whitstable Oyster Festival. The nine-day festival begins with an opening parade reenacting the catch and delivery of oysters to local restaurants, cafes and public buildings. The rest of the festival consists of entertainment for adults and children with displays of local art. Of course, many restaurants offer local fish dishes. If you spend your vacation in a cottage in Whitstable, be sure to visit Whitstable Castle as well. It was originally built as an octagonal tower in 1789. But later it was expanded into a manor house. Over time, a west wing, a bell tower and a cottage were added. The castle is a must-see for all visitors to the city! From the coast you can also see the World War II sea fortress Maunsell Fort, located 14km off the coast.
Take part in the oldest regatta in the world - in your vacation rental in Whitstable
In Whitstable, pebble and sandy beaches flank the harbor. Sunbathing, swimming and water sports are very popular there. The beaches have a peculiarity that distinguishes them from the other coastal towns in the southeast of England: they have no promenade. However, this also makes them very quiet and peaceful. Water sports fans should not miss the annual Whitstable Regatta. The event, which takes place in Aug, is packed with fun for the whole family, music and exhibitions, and of course the exciting competitions. To top it off, a grand fireworks display takes place. The regatta is also the oldest regatta in the world - it has been taking place since 1792.
