Welcome to Bournemouth

Welcome to Bournemouth, home of the UK's best beach - as voted in TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice awards for the second year in a row in 2019.

Take It In: this beautiful part of the world is the beating heart of 15 glorious miles of idyllic coastline with award-winning beaches and Blue Flags aplenty. There is a reason millions of people return to our shores year after year. When you visit we implore you to Enjoy Summer Safely, taking heed of our guidelines so you can Know Before You Go and explore this fantastic resort knowing you are in the safest of hands.
