• Organised educational visits by schools are encouraged (see Educational Tours).

• There are interpretation panels in many locations providing information on such topics as the history of the harbour, wildlife, trade, and wind farms.

• Informative excursions are available on the Thames Sailing Barge Greta.

• Sailing tuition is available at the adjacent Whitstable Yacht Club.
