Sheerness is a port town and civil parish beside the mouth of the River Medway on the north‑west corner of the Isle of Sheppey in north Kent, England. With a population of 13,249, it is the second largest town on the island after the nearby town of Minster which has a population of 16,738. The town’s setting near the river and its status as a port give it a maritime character, while its size provides a balance between community amenities and quieter residential areas.

The population figures suggest a modestly sized community that offers a mix of local services and a quieter lifestyle compared to larger urban centres.
