The Oysters Town -- Whitstable, Kent

Just 30 minutes bus journey away from the city center of Canterbury, locates Whitstable. It is a seaside town on the north coast of Kent. It is famous for its oysters and is popular for its maritime heritage, which is celebrated with the annual oyster festival.



It was a nice experience to have a seaside brunch picnic with your bestie on a 6°C sunny day. Although we were freezing, we did enjoy ourselves a lot. It's been long to have such a gentle touch with the nature, sounds from the wind and birds; waves beating the shore; exciting kids and couples taking their puppies a walk; as well as warmth from the Sun.



The town is purely tiny yet delicate. It is small, but cozy. Shops are petite and vintage. We found a tiny studio by the beach. The artist there is so friendly and artistic. 





Accidentally we bumped into a Farmers' Market. They sell organic products such as jam, veggies, breads, juices, etc. We bought a slice of chocolate cake, which was so smooth and rich. 



Whitstable is highly recommended to seafood lovers for its annual oyster festival in summer (usually late July till early August). Moreover, it is best for family excursion, as a one-day trip by the beach for chilling. I really had a marvelous memory here, so what are you waiting for?
