Indigo Bea’s guidebook to Camber & the local area
Sightseeing
The main attraction of Camber is of course the wonderful golden sandy beach which is just across the road from Cranmer. The quickest way to get there is to walk to the end of Links Way, cross the road and go through the track to the gate into the grass carpark. Here you can either walk up the beach path on the left, or head right, across the carpark to the shallower sloped main entrance.
Camber is only a small village and all the amenities are within walking distance but we have also provided bikes if you would like to get there faster or go further afield.
