One of the travellers who visited Deal's Beach wrote on TripAdvisor: "Just a lovely place to enjoy the vast sea, even though it’s actually the narrow part of the English Channel & the North Sea.
"Lots of coffee shops, ice cream parlour, watering holes, restaurants and shops galore with unique items."
A second user commented: "The beach and promenade at Deal provide great views of the channel and France on good days. It is good for a long stroll and there is an uninspiring pier.
"The beach is pebbly although on the land side there is plenty of parkland. Deal town has narrow roads full of small cottages but is otherwise not particularly memorable. Nevertheless, it is a genuine old-fashioned seaside resort which is refreshing to visit."
