Coastal Community Beach Huts
First set up on Margate Main Sands, the Coastal
Community Beach Hut is a hit. It has proven so
popular that the Coastal Community Fund has
helped Discover Thanet to establish a second
Beach Hut on Ramsgate Main Sands. These
Beach Huts are designed to encourage people
to enjoy the local area. They cost from £15 an
hour up to £70 for a full day’s hire, and they are
filled with arts and craft materials, games, sports
equipment and more. The Coastal Community
Beach Huts are available to schools, nurseries,
community groups and groups of friends.
To find out more, or to make a booking,
