Whistable ( White Staple-'chief's meeting place'). Known since Roman times for its fine oysters. The community, clustered around the harbour and along the sea front, has traditionally earned its livelihood from the sea and those trades connected with it. Despite floods and fires a few quaint fishermen's cottages still exist, though the overall character of the town has been transformed since the coming of the railway and its subsequent development. But is is, of course, for the ' Native Oyster' that Whistable is known world-wide !
