Is Margate sea safe?
Is Margate sea safe? The Margate City Beach Patrol is dedicated to provide a safe environment for citizens when enjoying the beautiful beaches of Margate. Margate beaches are lifeguard protected Memorial Day through Labor Day. All guarded bathing beaches are open from 10am until 6pm on each day of operation.
Why does Margate smell?
It is about our Margate Cinque Port Harbour that has for many years been allowed to build up with rotting, decaying mud rubbish, sediments and seaweed. This is creating a methane sewage emitting smell, that smells similar to urine and the stench is airborne because of the build up of sediments over ongoing years.
