In the mid-19th century Folkestone’s harbour was dredged and screened by a long seawall that protects its south side. The Harbour Arm was hooked up to the Southeastern Railway’s London to Dover Line and had a ferry service to Boulogne. In the First World War, some ten million people passed through the harbour. Passenger numbers on cross-Channel ferries dwindled after the arrival of the Channel Tunnel in the 1990s. This meant that the old terminal, extending out to sea for several hundred metres, needed a new role. Since the 2010s this once disused structure has been brought back to life, becoming a promenade and summer dining destination, with street food stalls, live music and a handful of enticing semi-permanent eateries. Come for mezze, barbecue ribs, cockles or stone-baked pizzas, savour the view back to the town and its cliffs and watch movies and live sporting events at the Harbour Screen.

A recently restored Harbour Arm with a champagne bar in the lighthouse at the end! Breathing new life into this once old British Railway dock, you now find eateries, market stalls and live music. Slightly quieter out of season but worth a visit. Great for sunsets and champagne! At the foot of the Harbour Arm is 'Rocksalt', a renowned restaurant, booking in advance is required!
