Fishing
The nearby towns of Dover and Sandwich offer excellent pier, boat and beach fishing, the area is good for Cod, Whiting, Flatfish, Bass, Dogfish and the good old Dabs and Pouting. It is also just a short walk to the sea and Deal pier where there is excellent fishing to be had off the shingle beach.
The Breakwater Pier at Dover, open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, can be fished. Alternatively, a boat trip means you can fish all day. The Admiralty and Princess Piers at Dover and the Deal Pier, together with Samphire Hoe (which has a mile of fishing area, plus parking and a picnic area) are also excellent locations for a day's sea fishing.
For somewhat lighter inland fishing, Cottington Lakes offers two large lakes full of carp and five lakes for silver fishing, open from dawn to dusk, or there are local rivers providing ideal pike fishing.
Ken the proprietor, a keen fisherman himself, is happy to arrange both sea and river fishing trips for guests staying at the Beachbrow Hotel. |
