Welcome to Bournemouth

We’ve got golden sand, sea views, tropical gardens, outdoor adventure and tons of festivals and events. So, if you’re a beach loving, water splashing, riviera seeking, show stopping kind of person or family, then you should B here!

The jewel of Britain’s South Coast, Bournemouth is a vibrant and colourful resort with miles of sandy beaches and panoramic views of the coastline, as well as a cosmopolitan and cultural town centre with hundreds of restaurants and bars that come alive long after the sun has gone down. Our calendar is packed with family friendly festivals and events so it’s no wonder we’ve got a reputation as an ‘eventful’ destination.

Whether you’re a holidaymaker, day tripper or local there are loads of things to do while you’re here. We’re lucky to have a temperate microclimate here in Bournemouth so if the sun has got his hat on you can walk, cycle and even surf the coastline. Whatever the weather, we’ve got indoor family amusements, museums and galleries. As night falls, the town comes alive with entertainment in our theatres, cinemas and comedy clubs.

Iconic images of majestic period hotels perched on the clifftops overlooking the sea have become synonymous with Bournemouth and reflect the breadth of our accommodation offer. Alongside luxury hotels in prime seafront locations, you’ll find budget friendly alternatives and B&Bs.

You’ll also be spoilt for choice if you’re looking for places to eat and drink. We’ve got hundreds of restaurants, cafés and bars dotted around the town and into our quaint suburban coastal villages. Whether you’re craving a fish ‘n’ chip supper or keen to try more exotic flavours, you’re bound to find something that’ll tickle your tastebuds.

With so much going on and so much to see, we’re sure you’ll #lovebournemouth as much as we do!
