Today, they continue to be harvested and are now celebrated each year at the Oyster Festival, which attracts visitors from far and wide.

Once a traditional fishing town, Whitstable has evolved into a highly desirable coastal destination. The town is well known for its wide range of eateries, seafood restaurants and unique independent shops, setting it apart from other high streets. Its charm has also made it a popular destination for celebrities seeking a quieter retreat.
