About Broadstairs - This gem of a town, on Kent's north-east coast, offers something for everyone, whatever the season. Literary and historical heritage, costumed walks, museums and of course, award-winning sandy beaches.
Shopping - Shopping facilities in Broadstairs are excellent and there are several delightful pubs, cafes and restaurants offering cuisine from all over the world. Very close to The Pavilion, in Victoria Parade, is Morelli's Ice Cream Parlour. It opened in 1932 and is one of the few original 1950s coffee bars still open in Britain.

It retains most of its original 1950s decor and has the most amazing relief ceiling design. It also probably has the best ice-cream ever!
Things to do and Tourist Information - Memorabilia of Charles Dickens can be seen at the Dickens Museum, located at Dickens House on the seafront. It was here that Miss Mary Strong lived who became the model for Betsey Trotwood in David Copperfield. The museum also plays a central role in the annual Dickens Festival in June.
