Where to eat
My favourite restaurant in Margate. If you're into fish, it's a must. Everything is sourced locally. The seaweed G&T is incredible. Booking is essential!

Where to shop
If you're in the market for skincare products, perfume, candles etc, Haeckels is the place to go. Everything is made with natural ingredients (emphasis on what comes from the coast) and the brand is big on sustainability.

Upstairs from the shop is an incredible day spa. I've had a facial and massage and both were excellent. Booking in advance is essential.
