Susan's summer by the seaside takes her to Margate on the Kent coast and she arrives in style on an electric rickshaw, right on the seafront. After she takes in the view, she heads to Margate's main beach where she encounters a group playing ultimate Frisbee and decides to give it a go. Soon after, she spots a local Margate institution, Manning's seafood stall and tries her very first tub of cockles. Next, she goes in search of one of a mystery - the Shell Grotto. She is amazed by this underground cavern, with over 4.6 million shells adorning its walls.

After chatting to other holidaymakers on the seafront she heads out to beautiful Botany Bay where she comes across sand artist Ross who draws the most incredible designs in the sand. Then back in Margate, and a wander along the promenade, brings her to the sundeck where she gets her skates on at the roller disco with local skater and hand holder Norman.

At Margate's pleasure park Dreamland, Susan meets actress Sally Lindsay. Sally shares with Susan her love for Margate and Dreamland and they muster up the courage for a ride on the Ghost Train.

In nearby Broadstairs, Sally goes for a paddle as she discovers Charles Dicken's love of this quaint seaside town. And back in Margate, Susan indulges her passion for toys at the Hornby museum.

When it comes to B&Bs there's nowhere quirkier than Margate as Susan checks out what's on offer, though she might not want to stay the night in a prison cell. She's then off to the old town for an ice cream and can't leave without the ultimate souvenir – a kiss-me-quick hat.
