Sheerness Beach is situated on the northern coast of the Isle of Sheppey, where the rivers Thames and Medway meet the North Sea. The beach is a gently sloping shingle beach, backed by a large sea defence wall, which forms the promenade. The beach has a mix of shingle and sand, and at low tide, crabs, shrimps, and other sea creatures may be found in the pools that become exposed. A number of groynes stretch out into the sea.
The beach is backed by a substantial sea wall, which forms a promenade, used by walkers and cyclists. Along the promenade, there are benches and steps leading down to the beach at regular intervals. However, access for those with mobility problems may be difficult. The beach is kept clean and has regularly been awarded Blue Flag status. A children's play area with a sandpit and a skateboard park can be found close by.
Sheerness Beach is a popular destination for families, particularly during the summer months, when crabbers and shell hunters enjoy foraging among the shingle at low tide. The beach is also a great place to watch cargo vessels sailing up and down the busy shipping lanes. Although there are no facilities at the beach, a McDonald's and a branch of Tesco are both a short walk away, and the town's shops, cafes, and restaurants are within easy reach of the beach.
Visitors to Sheerness Beach can also take the scenic coastal 10km circular cycle route around Sheerness, which is ideal for a family activity and a great way to explore the area.
Sheerness Beach is adjacent to the Kent Coastline Walk.
