==Landmarks== The principal landmarks on the Isle are the North Foreland, and all the bays around the coastline, the principal ones of which are [[Birchington-on-Sea|Minnis Bay]], [[Palm Bay, Kent|Palm Bay]], [[Botany Bay, Kent|Botany Bay]], [[Broadstairs|Joss Bay]], and Pegwell Bay: the latter being part of the estuary of the River Stour. In 2007, seven of those beaches met stringent quality standards and were awarded as [[Blue Flag beach]]es: Minnis Bay, Botany Bay (Broadstairs), Margate Main Sands, St Mildreds Bay (Westgate), Stone Bay (Broadstairs), West Bay (Westgate), and Westbrook Bay.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.blueflag.org/tools/beachsearch?q=beach&k=%7BE5977B19-7D19-4BFB-9C95-5F1FB1A7A1B5%7D&f=locationcategory |title=BlueFlag.org |access-date=29 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216171148/http://www.blueflag.org/tools/beachsearch?q=beach&k=%7BE5977B19-7D19-4BFB-9C95-5F1FB1A7A1B5%7D&f=locationcategory |archive-date=16 February 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In 2008, this had risen to 10 beaches.
