St Peter's and the Isle of Thanet: Where Kent Meets the Sea
St Peter's sits at the eastern tip of Kent, part of the Isle of Thanet, though the Wantsum Channel that once made it a true island silted up centuries ago. The area encompasses Broadstairs, Margate, and Ramsgate within a few miles of coastline. Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield in a house on the Broadstairs seafront (now the Dickens House Museum), and the annual Dickens Festival keeps that connection alive. Broadstairs' Viking Bay is a small, sheltered beach that fills to capacity on summer weekends.
