Reviews & Comments for Margate

I was born at 53 Ramsgate Road in Margate in 1953. I left when I was five when mum married an American GI. Visited for the month of July 11 thru August 7 - brought back loads of memories. Saw shell grotto for the first time ever and was so impressed. Makes you wonder what else is going on underneath us. Missed Dreamland, but pleased to hear the powers that be may be coming to an agreement to refurbish. It makes sense if you want to restore the attraction for visitors. Otherwise, other places have more to offer for holidays. Hope to come back to visit again real soon. Brought back 36 sticks of Margate rock for my friends and family back home in Hawaii. I still have family in Margate and Ramsgate. I always tell people that Margate is a seaside resort just like the one I now live in Hawaii. The big difference it that our Hawaiian weather is about 80 degrees all year round, and we certainly do not close up for the winter. Aloha
