About This Place

Hythe Beach is located on the south-eastern coast, approximately midway between Folkestone and Dymchurch.  The unspoiled, mainly pebble beach slopes quite steeply into the sea and the water can become deep surprisingly quickly when the tide is in.  --> The beach at Hythe is backed by a promenade, approximately two miles in length, which is used by cyclists and pedestrians.  There are a number of outlets and stands selling ice-creams, food and beverages here and plenty of benches along the promenade. On clear days it might be possible to see the distant shores of France across the Channel. The beach is a fairly popular spot for fishing. There are usually plenty of parking places to be found along the promenade. Hythe Beach never gets particularly busy and the small town behind the beach has not seen the usual seaside development that might be said to blight so many coastal towns.  This is not a place to come for noisy arcades or shops selling tacky holiday wares, but it is an ideal seaside location for those wanting to take in the sea air away from the hustle and bustle of some of the busier resorts.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a dog-friendly beach day in Kent? We at DogParkUK wholeheartedly recommend Hythe Beach! Your furry friends are welcome year-round to enjoy the vast stretches of shingle. Parking is usually available nearby, making access easy. While facilities are limited directly on the beach, Hythe town is a short walk away. Always be mindful of strong currents when swimming. This expansive beach is especially brilliant for dogs who love zoomies and big breeds with plenty of energy to burn. Remember to bring fresh water for your pup - shingle can get HOT! Enjoy!
