Between Whistable and Tankerton at mid-tide you can walk along a 'road' or a strip of pebbles that leads for a mile out into the sea. Just be carefull you don't get caught out by the tide!

When the tide is out you get to walk along the street. This is especially great during the summer season and for a place to take some pictures.

A beautiful long shingle spit that stretches out to sea for up to a mile at low tides. Great for a walk but do take care to keep an eye on the incoming tides. At low tide, the water to the left of the street remains deep enou to swim.

Heading back along the beach in the direction of Tankerton (the small town that borders Whitstable to the east), it’s possible to encounter the Street of Stones, a mysterious spit of shingle that becomes visible at low tide. No-one knows quite how the mile long 'Street' came into existence but you can go fossiling and clay pipe foraging here, as well as fishing for sea bass. Stroll out upon it with the lowering tide and you get the strange impression you are walking on water. Turning straight back towards land, you can now admire the frontage of one of Whitstable’s most distinctive sea-facing properties, Beacon House. Looking out over the 'Street' for over a hundred years, the property acquired its name from a signal that had once stood in the garden as a low water warning to sailors. Finally, climbing the grassy slopes from Beacon House, past row after row of colourful beach huts, continue east for about a thousand paces, leaving behind the busy centre of town to find JoJo's restaurant, perched on top of the slopes. With a brand new cocktail bar, this beautiful family-run restaurant cooks with conscience and its relaxed atmosphere, tapas, mezze and fabulously fresh fish will have you thinking you might be in the Med, until you gaze out at the panoramic view of the surrounding coastline, dotted with a few fishing boats and the bleached sails of wind turbines turning slowly on the horizon.
