Westgate Bay Swimming Forecast
Westgate-on-Sea · United Kingdom
Westgate Bay scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NW. A tidal sandy bay on Kent's north coast, flanked by chalk cliffs and a Victorian promenade. Sand and rock pools are exposed at low tide, but the beach vanishes at high water when the sea reaches the seawall. Facing NNW into the North Sea, it offers small beach-break conditions for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing and sailing; powered watercraft cannot launch here. RNLI lifeguards patrol 18 July-6 September.
