Coastal island with broad tidal flats, salt marshes, sandy beaches and small historic villages — excellent for shorebird, mudflat and wide seascape photography. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and long reflections; low tide reveals patterns in the mud. Easily reached by car from the mainland; local car parks in Minster and Sheerness. Flat, wheelchair-friendly promenades on parts of the island. No entry fees; respect wildlife reserves and seasonal access restrictions.
