  Grenham Bay beach is different to those surrounding it in that it does not really have sand but consists of many rock pools below the Kent cliffs. This is an excellent beach for those with children wanting to explore the rock pools rather than relaxing on the sand. The beach is backed by a large concrete sea defense that links it to its neighbour beaches of Minnis Bay and Epple Bay. Car park at the top of the cliffs. We have no dog information for Grenham Bay beach.

  Nice quiet spot.
  Lovely quiet spot with paring next to the beach. Rock pools for the kids and nice and shallow so very safe with lifeguards. The beach has a nice cafe open all day with friendly staff. It seems mostly locals go to this beach so it is a hidden away spot. The only down side is the tide comes right up to the wall so as long as you check the tide times there is plenty of sand. There is also a tide pool to the left.
