Stay and Swim guidebook
Westgate on Sea
Westgate is a 15 minute stroll from Stay and Swim. We like to encourage the use of local businesses and the town has a good range of shops for essentials: co-op supermarket, butchers, fruit and veg shop, bakers, off licence, chemist and it's own train station.
It also has some great places to eat and drink. Here are some places we like all within a short walk.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner – not forgetting Sunday Lunch. Outdoor seating areas.
