AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out this drone video of a beautiful seaside town in Southeastern England called Margate, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot oszibusz. Margate is located near the easternmost tip of County Kent, just a bit to the west of Broadstairs and Botany Bay. With a strong maritime tradition, Margate became one of the country's first true seaside destinations. It's earned numerous references in various works of English literature, and more recently has appeared in a number of feature movies and TV shows.

Margate is a seaside town in Thanet, Kent, South East England, 15 miles (24.1 km) north-east of Canterbury, which includes Cliftonville, Garlinge, Palm Bay and Westbrook. Margate was recorded as "Meregate" in 1264 and as "Margate" in 1299, but the spelling continued to vary into modern times. The name is thought to refer to a pool gate or gap in a cliff where pools of water are found, often allowing swimmers to jump in. The cliffs of the Isle of Thanet are composed of chalk, a fossil-bearing rock.
