BOURNEMOUTH
Dorset
Bournemouth is the perfect seaside resort, on the sunny south
coast amid dramatic cliffs looking down on miles of golden, sandy beaches. Known as the
Garden City of the South,
it boasts over 2,000 acres of superb parks and gardens. It’s shopping is as good as any on the south coast, and it
now has great reputation for its excellent restaurants and night life. There's so much to see and do in Bournemouth
Town Centre and you are never far from the award winning beaches and gardens.
Just about everything is within walking distance!
And the recently opened Boscombe surf-reef, the first of its kind in Europe, has added even more to the Bournemouth sea front scene. The nearby town of Poole complements Bournemouth perfectly, with its magnificent natural harbour, elegant and historic quay and great sandy beaches.
Bournemouth has consistently won awards for the quality, safety and cleanliness of its golden, sandy beaches. The sheltered Bay offers beautiful vistas and on a clear day you can easily see the Needles on the Isle of Wight and Old Harry’s Rocks over in the Purbecks.
