Twenty migrants - including three children and baby - landed on a beach with holidaymakers after a perilous 30 mile trip across the English Channel.

Stunned beachgoers filmed as the dinghy arrived on the sand.

It happened in Broadstairs on the north east Kent coastline - a further 10 miles from the usual boat landings from Calais.

Sally Jones Rowell and her daughter Lydia Jones, 13, were at their beach hut when they saw them arrive. Kind-hearted Lydia offered them crisps and drinks.

The baby was just a few month old and one of the children was about three-years-old.

Sally said: “Wwe were at our beach hut in Stone Bay when a boat of migrants came up on the beach.

“It was mainly young men and a very expensive boat. A few young children. Most of them ran off in every direction. We gave the children some packets of crisps.”

They were lucky as another hour or so would have been low tide and they’d been on the rocks.

A Kent Police spokesperson said: “Kent Police officers assisted Border Force after a report of suspected migrants in Stone Bay, Broadstairs, at 1.50pm.”
