Where is Deal on map

Knock, knock! Who's there? It's the charming town of Deal, snuggled right up splendidly on England's southeastern tip. Nestled within the ceremonial county of Kent — sometimes affectionately known as the "Garden of England" — Deal whispers its "hello" between two close chums: the historical towns of Sandwich and Dover. This charming trio nestled snugly on a coastline hugging the English Channel, with France giving out a friendly wave from the other side.

How big is Deal

Now don't be fooled my dear friends by Deal's bijou size — within its sweet, compact dimensions, there's a whole heap of charm and history crammed in. Covering an approximate area of 7.8 square miles (We're talking proper British square miles, none of this kilometer business, thank you very much), Deal may not be a sprawling metropolis, but it puts every speck of its landscape to good use. With atmospheric cobbled streets, snug historic buildings, and a hugging shoreline that goes on as far as the eyes can see, Deal proves beyond a doubt that sometimes, the best things really do come in small packages.

How many people live in Deal

In this snug, seaside haven, around 29,992 folks are lucky enough to call Deal home, according to the last census. But don't be misled, these aren't just any folks — oh no! They're some of the friendliest you'll ever meet. Each one brimming with unique stories and tales, handed down from generation to generation. It’s as though Deal has its own ever-evolving tapestry, woven with the colorful threads of its residents' vibrant lives and histories. Now isn't that just the Deal-iest thing you've ever heard?

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
