Herne Bay is a traditional seaside town developing a more distinctive independent offer. Lower rents than Whitstable give independent traders more room to operate, and the town centre and seafront have a growing number of independent coffee shops, gift shops, and locally sourced food businesses. Dog-friendly cafés along the seafront have become a notable draw. It's quieter and less overtly fashionable than Whitstable, which is increasingly part of the appeal for independent business owners and visitors alike.
