Winter Beach Clean - Pegwell Bay
This Winter Beach Clean will take place on the beach close to the white cliffs within the Sandwich & Pegwell Bay National Nature Reserve.
The event lasts for 2 hours and is open to all to join in. We will be both monitoring beach litter and also cleaning the beach. Children have to be supervised by a responsible adult. Litter sticks, hoops, and bags are provided. If you need gloves, please bring your own garden gloves; and wear appropriate clothing for weather on the day (windproof/rainproof if windy &/or raining) & tough footwear for walking on the beach. Please also bring along your own water bottle, or refreshment, to quench your thirst!
Please Note: unfortunately the nearby picnic site 'cafe' & 'toilets' are CLOSED during the winter months.
Detailed access directions to the beach: From Viking Ship picnic site >> walk to the north-east corner of the picnic site (Ramsgate direction), then >> along a footpath adjacent to a field to a road, then >> turn right & walk down the (former hoverport access) road & at the bottom >> turn round to the left around the trees to the start of the sandy beach (above the saltmarsh/mudflats).
The Thanet Coast Project (https://www.thanetcoast.org.uk/) runs this event - sometimes with the Kent Wildlife Trust and Bird Wise East Kent present - so that you can ask your questions about the bird life of this National Nature Reserve.
