Seasalter, Kent

A great place at low tide. You can park anywhere along the shore at the Faversham side of Seasalter. CC can run around the sandy bits and in the large puddles then you can walk along the beach, or wall (she doesn’t do pebbles very well), let her run around again and she’d be dry by the time you walk back. Ok at high tide as you could still walk along some beach and the wall. Beware the grabby crabs that might bite a dog’s nose.
