Herne Bay, town, Canterbury city (local authority), on the north (Thames estuary) coast of the administrative and historic county of Kent, southeastern England.

The town grew rapidly after the railway linked it with London in 1833. Reculver, 3 miles (5 km) east, is the site of the Roman station Regulbium. 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; (2011) 38,385.
