With a vibrant community of creatives, the tiny town of Deal is a must visit, if only for the sheer joy which radiates from behind every whitewashed cottage door and flower-boxed window. Often overlooked in favour of the larger, more popular Margate, Deal is a perfect seaside destination. Stroll along the pebble beach and hunker down for truly excellent food and wine. We like Le Pinardier for its small bites and generous pours, and Smugglers Records for a good drink and a boogie (though you won't be hard-pressed to find a classic basket of fish and chips, should you have a hankering for a spot of tradition over hipsterdom).
