An early, lithographed image of two children playing beneath an umbrella on Ramsgate's sandy beach. Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs are three beach resorts located in Kent, off Britain's South East coast. Cartographically they are on the Isle of Thanet, named years ago when the mile-wide Wantsum Channel separated the island from the mainland. That channel has since silted over. But the popular resort area boasts over 26 miles of sandy beaches.
