Welcome to Bournemouth

In the afterglow of another fantastic summer, the UK’s best seaside resort is gearing up for an action-packed autumn! Our seven-mile stretch of unspoilt coastline is the perfect playground as we head into the sporting season.

Known as the ‘coast with the most’, there’s acres of space to enjoy outdoor pursuits or mess about on the water! Walk, run or cycle on sandy beaches, through Victorian gardens or along our majestic clifftops. Surf, paddle-board or jet ski against a backdrop of panoramic sea views and picture-perfect sunsets.

Head here for a great autumn getaway and whether you’re looking for an iconic, period hotel or cosy, family-run B&B, there are plenty of places to stay in and around Bournemouth.

As the winter weather sets in, there are museums, amusements and a huge cinema complex where you can enjoy a great day out under cover from the elements.

There are also hundreds of bustling restaurants, cafés and bars in the heart of the town. Stop in after a day spent in our selection of high street shops or department stores or grab a bite to eat or celebratory tipple before catching a show in one of our theatres or concert venues.

The coastal villages of Boscombe, Southbourne and Westbourne are dotted delicately along the clifftops, home to independent boutiques and brasseries where you can soak up life on the coast.

And our calendar of family friendly events shows no sign of slowing down after the holiday season as Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival rolls into town, the Marathon Festival returns and the resort bubbles with excitement at the arrival of our brand new winter attraction, Christmas Tree Wonderland!

So, with fun ways to get fit, family frolics and fantastic festivals, there’s every reason to #lovebournemouth this autumn!
