点评:We live in Essex so normally frequent the heritage coast in Suffolk for day trips but decided to try somewhere different and chance the M25 and try the Kent coast instead. Really wish that we hadn’t bothered.
The traffic to get there was awful. A journey that was predicted to have taken 1hr15 actually ended up taking over 2 hrs. When we got there we drove down the hill and was initially blown away at how pretty it looked but then we tried to park…we drove round and round and round. Ended up, by pure luck, nabbing a spot in a charity car park in the school and was so grateful I paid them £10. The town itself is very nice, a lot of the charm of an old fishing town has been kept in the architecture but it was packed. And I mean PACKED. So much so that it was hard to even walk on the pavement. Finding somewhere to eat was impossible as again, everywhere was heaving. Tried to walk along the beach path, gave up and turned back as it was just too busy. Not a good vibe at all so we went back to our car and drove home. I won’t ever bother again. Overrated and overhyped. There’s MUCH better places to go.
翻译:我们住在埃塞克斯郡,平时常去萨福克郡的遗产海岸进行一日游。但这次我们想换个地方,于是决定冒险走M25高速公路,去肯特郡的海岸看看。真后悔我们当初做了这个决定。
前往那里的路上交通糟糕透顶。原本预计只需1小时15分钟的路程,结果花了整整2个多小时。到达后,我们开车下坡,一开始被那里的美景惊呆了;可随后我们试图停车……结果绕了好多圈都找不到地方停车。最后……纯属运气好,我得以在学校旁的慈善停车场找到一个车位,我感激不已,于是付了10英镑。小镇本身非常不错,其建筑风格很好地保留了古老渔村的韵味,但人实在太多了——真的多到挤不进的地步。人多到连人行道上都难以行走。找地方吃饭也根本不可能,因为到处都人满为患。我试着沿着海滩步道散步,但因为实在太拥挤,只好放弃并折返回去。氛围糟糕透顶,所以我们回到车里直接回家了。我再也不会去那儿了。评价虚高且炒作过度,其实有好多更好的地方可去。
