Why Move to Whitstable?
Located in the southeast of the UK on the coast of Kent, Whitstable has been a well-known idyllic seaside destination for many years. With its rows of colourful beach huts and fresh from the ocean seafood cuisine, it is not just holidaymakers who are attracted to the area, many people choose to call this wonderful town home.
There are plenty of good reasons to want to relocate to the town. The busy high street features all the usual retailers and a swathe of independents. Some shops are hidden along the towns winding alleyways making it a lovely place to wander. Perhaps though, its bestselling point is that it offers an opportunity to live by the sea.
The town is famous for not only its oysters but also the annual Whitstable Oyster Festival which takes place during the summer. The busy working harbour is a great place to spend time watching the activities of the commercial port and shop at the thriving fish market, open to the public at weekends.
