Tankerton Kent Map

About Tankerton

Tankerton presents a gentle sweep of the Kent coastline, its suburban calm a counterpoint to the sea’s ceaseless murmur. It lies 1.4 km east-north-east of Whitstable (from Whitstable: bearing 76°T, OS grid TR 120 669). The distinctive Tankerton Slopes, a series of terraced grass banks descending towards the shingle beach, offer a place for quiet contemplation, where the salt-laced air carries the faint scent of wild thyme. Along Marine Parade, the houses stand in neat rows, their facades catching the pale, diffused light that often graces this stretch of shore. Beyond the immediate residential areas, the landscape opens to reveal a subtle maritime character, a reminder of Tankerton’s enduring connection to the waters of the Swale.
