A lush green lawn reaches from the hill top down to the little beach cabins. The rock beach reaches for miles in both directions and a paved path makes the stroll easy. It's a pleasant walk in the fresh sea breeze. Except of course if you get surprise by another rain shower, like me, and remember that you left the sun roof in the parked car wide open. Well, it's just water.
Many people just park their car on the road and enjoy the view from the comfort of their car.
Even that is pretty good. Once you have been there, whatever the name of the village is, you will find Herne Bay rather boring. It has a pier and a beach band stand but its heyday are long gone. Other than the usual gambling places there is not much worth mentioning. However, in the distance in the west appeared another historic monument, the ruins of the Reculver Church.
