Whitstable Caravan Holidays and Holiday Parks
The town, located 5 miles from Canterbury and just 2 miles from Herne Bay, is famed for its historic working harbour and for its ‘Native Oysters’ which have been collected since Roman times and for which the town celebrates in a large festival every summer.
In modern times it is the towns location on the coast and its beautiful beach that is the biggest attraction for many visitors whilst the harbour is still the hub of the town.
If you are looking for a holiday in Whitstable or if you are just looking to get away on the north Kent coast, the great news is that the town offers a small range of caravan holiday parks.

Whitstable Caravan Holidays
As a smaller seaside town and resort, the choice of caravan holiday parks offered for holidaymakers to stay on may not be able to match the bigger holiday resorts in the south east of England but the good news for those wanting to enjoy a holiday park experience, is that the ones on offer in and around the town are of a good quality.
Whitstable Attractions
Just as the relaxed nature of Whitstable means it doesn’t have a huge range of holiday parks on offer, the town also doesn’t have a long list of visitor attractions, but that for many is just part of the charm of this part of Kent.
For many holidaymakers it is simply been next to the coast and been able to look out to sea that really makes a holiday a holiday and that is something that the town really lends itself to.
The town centre of Whitstable offers a decent range of independent and chain shops, bars, cafes and restaurants with the main high street running through the centre of town to the seafront and to the Harbour.
The towns harbour still acts as a hub for visitors and locals alike and whilst there is still a small fishing fleet operating out of the harbour, nowadays it is a place to sits, relax and enjoy a meal or drink in one of the harbour side bars, cafes and restaurants.
There is also a popular market down at the harbour and there are a small number of tourist shops.
The beautiful coast in and around the town can be viewed from the Tankerton Slopes whilst those wanting a quieter day out at the beach can visit the nearby Tankerton beach.
There is a small number of visitors attractions and historical sites in and around the town including the Whitstable Castle and Gardens, the Whitstable Museum and Gallery and the Horsebridge Arts and Community Centre whilst the towns own Playhouse Theatre offers a good night out.
Location
Whitstable is located on the north coast of Kent, to the west of Herne Bay and to the north of Canterbury, with views out across the Swales towards the Isle of Sheppey.
