If you head to the Harbour Arm at Folkestone- apart from the beautiful harbour full of small fishing boats, the long walk along the pier and sandy beach… there is a whole array of street food venues, music and even a live screen. Try the Big Greek Bus or of course the local fish and chips. It’s just over a 20 minute drive…. Perfect when the sun shines.
