Pub beer garden next to shimmering hidden gem beach is worth getting sunburn for

Minnis Bay Bar and Brasserie sits mere meters away from the sea and has some incredible views (Image: KentLive) With the remaining weeks of summer ticking away, I'm certainly not the only one eager to make the most of pub garden jaunts. My latest discovery was in Birchington-on-Sea, a quaint little seaside village nestled between Herne Bay and Thanet. I initially set out to witness the charm of Minnis Bay beach for the very first time, but it wasn't long before I was captivated by the sleek, welcoming Minnis Bay Bar and Brasserie.

Operated by Shepherd Neame, this stylish watering hole is mere steps from the beach's glistening sands, boasting an expansive outdoor seating area that beckons many a parched soul. The fortunate coincidence of sunny skies and soaring temperatures during my visit meant that after a leisurely stroll along Minnis Bay, a quenching drink was unequivocally in order. What could I do but indulge myself at this fetching bar and eatery? function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
