Triathlon

With beautiful coastal waters, cycling trails galore and miles of shoreline to walk or run, Ramsgate is the ideal place to try out a triathlon.

Active Ramsgate has developed, in partnership with British Triathlon, GO TRI Triathlon Taster Experiences for triathlon newbies and beginners.

Paddle Boarding

Paddle boarding on the wide, open expanse of the sea is a humbling experience – yet thrillingly connected to nature, allowing you to slow down and take a meditative view as you take in the coastline around Ramsgate.

And when it's time to relax, there are plenty of cafes and bars around the town and Harbour to satisfy all tastes. Many of the town's pubs and bars showcase live music; the Granville Theatre has a top bill of comedians, musical theatre, tribute acts and more, and Ramsgate's famous Music Hall attracts top and up-and-coming bands...

“Ramsgate’s at the Land’s End of the south-east - the getaway place with great scenery and the great outdoors. And it’s just down the line from London.”- Nicholas Crane, Presenter of the BBC Coast series
