Bournemouth

Bournemouth boasts seven miles of safe golden sands along with a vast variety of shops and restaurants, buzzing nightlife, endless countryside offering peace and relaxation and beautiful award-winning gardens.

Bournemouth Town Centre is rapidly growing with more and more shops and boutiques opening throughout the pedestrianised shopping precinct. The spiritual and relaxing courtyards and enclaves, swathes of gardens with benches make it a pleasurable shopping experience.

According to a recent survey, the population of Bournemouth is the happiest of any UK town, making people who live here considerably happier than the national average!

No major UK tourist resort has won as many awards as Bournemouth. In 2007 Bournemouth seafront secured four prestigious Blue Flag awards. These awards confirm the cleanliness of the beach and the care that goes into maintaining it.

The beach has provisions for disabled visitors with free use of land trains, which run from Alum Chine and Boscombe, cliff lifts and no pier tolls. There are also beach wheelchairs for ease of access onto our beaches.

Available for hire on the beach are deck chairs, sun beds, windbreaks and parasols to make sure you enjoy the day in comfort. For the more adventurous among you Boscombe beach will soon see the introduction of the first artificial reef in Europe.
