Herne Bay

      town, Canterbury City (Canterbury) district, on the north coast of the administrative and historic county of Kent, southeastern England.

There also stand twin towers called “The Sisters,” the remains of a church taken down in 1806, now preserved as a landmark for mariners. Pop. (2001) 34,747.
