One of our most photographed bays, Botany Bay is famous. This hidden gem offers stunning views of white cliffs and beautiful chalk stacks.
When the tide is out, Botany bay is a great location for fossil hunting and exploring rock pools. There is plenty of exposed sand to enjoy when the tide is in, but due to the bay's shape the ends are cut off at high tide.
There is a dog ban in place from 1st May until 30th September, when dogs are not permitted between 10am to 6pm.
Be Beach Safe. This means checking the weather and the tides, keeping an eye on your family, and not using inflatables.
In an emergency, call 999 for the Coastguard.
Please remember, if you are visiting our beaches and bays, that some COVID-19 restrictions are still in place.
Please 'Respect, Protect and Enjoy' and leave only your footprints.
