And there’s St Michael's On Sea for the surfing fans in your tribe.
2. Water, water, everywhere

3. Getting out and about
If your family members are sporty or keen to enjoy the great outdoors, there’s simply so much to explore in Ramsgate. Play golf, try out go-karting at Kart Freaks, enjoy a trail hike at Ingungumbane or Clear Waters or, if you’re looking for a little bit more of a thrill, try the zipline at Oribi Gorge.

What kid doesn’t love an animal farm, and the wilder the better? For your croc thrills, visit Riverbend Crocodile Farm or take a peaceful stroll around the botanical gardens at Bellevue Park or the stunning Butterfly Valley.

Is your family more indoor than outdoor, more spend than sloth? Visit the local Uvongo flea market (where your children are sure to find toys to delight) or indulge in some retail therapy at the South Coat Mall and Shelley Centre. And don’t forget to grab a bite at the landmark Waffle House, Mac Banana, Beaver Creek, or Keg and Galleon.
