Only a 30 minute was away which can be done via the beach (if the tide is out/ going out). I love to sit in one of the many coffee shops/ restaurants and watch the goings on of the harbour

The stunning Royal Harbour Marina was developed in 1976. The Four Gold Anchor Award complex now offers 700 finger moorings. Ramsgate played an important role throughout recent history. It was one of the main embarkation harbours during the Napoleonic wars, resulting in many of Ramsgate’s streets being named to commemorate the association with this period in its history, including the harbour’s main thoroughfare, Military Road. The promenades and crescents that overlook the harbour are reminiscent of this rich period in Ramsgate’s history too and their fine architecture provide a stunning backdrop to the marina. In WWII during May and June 1940 Operation Dynamo was launched and an odd assortment of yachts, motor cruisers, fishing boats and other small craft assembled in Ramsgate, before crossing to Dunkirk to ferry men from the seaches to waiting ships. These “Little Ships”, like the men waiting on the beaches, were under constant attack from German aircraft and guns, and of 765 vessels involved in the operation, almost a third were lost. Despite heavy losses the valiant “Little Ships” assisted in the rescue of 309,739 troops, around 40,000 of whom were landed at Ramsgate.
