About Herne Bay East Cliff to Beltinge
East of Herne Bay town the beach runs below the grassy Downs towards Beltinge, mixing shingle banks with clay and fossil beds. A Kent beachcombing blogger found around a hundred pieces of sea glass here, though most were small. It's also good for fossils and sea brick.
Sea glass at Herne Bay East Cliff to Beltinge
Mostly greens, aqua, yellow, brown, white and olive; pieces are mostly small, with only a handful bigger than a 10p coin out of about 100. Look on the first bank of pebbles from the sea at low or mid tide.
Visiting Herne Bay East Cliff to Beltinge
- Parking
- Free car parking on top of the cliffs at Beltinge and along Herne Bay Slopes.
- Toilets
- Partway along Herne Bay East, with shops and cafés; nothing towards Beltinge.
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
