Coastal Amusements & Beach

Margate’s seafront is defined by the historic Dreamland amusement park and its adjacent sandy coastline. This collection features the United Kingdom’s oldest wooden roller coaster alongside a variety of restored vintage fairground attractions and modern thrill rides. The area combines traditional seaside heritage with active amusements, all situated within walking distance of the town's central tidal pool and wide sandy bay.
