Camber Sands

We discovered Camber Sands when trying to find a beach near London so we could enjoy the last throws of summer.


Camber Sands is a proper beach with real sand and dunes down on the south coast of Kent. It is about 20 miles east of Hastings.


Whilst we were there we decided to have lunch at a restaurant and B&B called, The Place. The food was really good but the service was atrocious -- it took over 3 hours to have our meals served. When we complained the manager explained that in her 19 years in catering she hadn't had so many complaints and that we didn't have to pay for the food. We decided to pay for half of the meals since only the service was the problem.


By the time we got to the beach the wind had picked up and it was becoming overcast - but Daisy enjoyed the water and was only slightly weirded out by the sand.


We will definitely be visiting Camber Sands when the weather is good again.

The amazing walking Daisy...

Our little Daisy has decided that crawling is for suckers and everything must be done on two feet now.


We took a quick video of her new found independence.


When she gets to the end of the room and discovers that the trolley can't be pushed any further because a wall is in the way, she starts to throw a bit of a wobbly.


Also, sharing the said walker is a bit of an issue. Poor young Eddie found out the hard way.
