Poole Harbour

Poole, Dorset

Poole is home to the second largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its watersports. Poole Quay is lined with beautiful merchant houses alongside modern architecture. Enjoy the cobbled streets and take the Cockle Trail Walk or enjoy a boat ride to the National Trust Brownsea Island. Poole Quay and town have an abundance of top bistros and restaurants - try the local catch of the day.

Poole has a festival of events every year from April until September. Poole Tourism and Wave 105 bring you the longest Summertime in the South! Weekly events include Coles Miller Dream Machines, Rockley Park Quay for my Car, Summer Breeze on the Quay with Fireworks and Summer Breeze on the Beach with Fireworks.
