Chalk cliff spray and a town that fills up every summer
Broadstairs sits on chalk, not just sand, so the salt air off its seven bays carries fine chalk dust with it. Add a seaside economy of guesthouses and holiday lets that need turning around fast between guests, and it's a different job to the rest of the ring.

Why Broadstairs is different
Seven bays, one chalk coastline
Broadstairs promotes itself around its seven named bays, and the geology behind that isn't just marketing: this stretch of coast is chalk, not the shingle or sand you get further round at Deal or Margate. Salt spray off the sea carries fine chalk dust with it, and it settles on driveways, patios and render the same way sea salt does elsewhere, just with a paler, chalkier residue that needs slightly different rinsing to lift cleanly.
Viking BayThe main harbour beach, heaviest footfall and chalk spray combined.
Louisa BaySmall clifftop bay, salt-laden air off an open stretch of sea.
Stone BayQuieter residential frontages, steady low-level chalk dust.
Joss BayExposed north-facing bay, the harshest weathering on the coast here.
Kingsgate BayClifftop houses right on the chalk edge, direct spray exposure.
Botany BayIconic chalk stacks, the purest chalk-dust conditions in the ring.
Dumpton GapSheltered gap toward Ramsgate, milder but still coastal grime.
On top of that, Broadstairs fills up every summer for the Dickens Festival and a season of holiday lets and guesthouses around the harbour, so frontages often need a quick turnaround clean between bookings rather than a once-a-year job.
