Used to holiday in St Mary's Bay just up the a259 as a kid with my parents from the mid 70s until 2020, when they moved away from the area sadly. I have many many wonderful memories of this little place, and love the fact I was able to bring my kids too and they loved it equally. That little arcade you pass at 4:03 was my mecca, it had seemingly every arcade machine that was huge at the time in the mid 80s....outrun, hang on, chase hq, gauntlet, Darius, roadblasters....too many to mention all squeezed in that little space, and you could hear the machines as you walked towards it along the front. I last visited there in I think 2015 and sadly all those brilliant machines had been replaced by the coin guzzlers and claw machines. Such a shame!! Great video
Good video. Unfortunately, my experience in dymchurch did not go as well as expected. There were lots of travellers in which some said racist slurs to my mum and grandparents (and made monkey noises), drug dealers and overall the residents were not so welcoming. They were also unfriendly and scummy. Also there was a p0rn sign in the rides area. I didn’t feel safe there. Sad to say it’s on my ‘scummy seaside towns’ list.
Lived here for 3 years have not experienced anything that you described. The residents of Dymchurch are so friendly and welcoming, love living here. Your experiences are from holiday makers not the good people of Dymchurch.

They can take away the machines, but not the memories...Glad you enjoyed it

The fact that I'm lucky enough to live at such a nice seaside town is just amazing
