Welcome to Bournemouth

Coming to Bournemouth to enjoy the sunshine?

Please plan ahead and download the 'Beach Check UK App', where you can find your quiet spot and best place to park, before you’ve even left the house.

Our seafront car parks fill up very quickly and we have plenty of alternative car parks,  just a short walk from the beach. 

If you are looking to save time and money, then hop on the Park and Ride service from Kings Park to Boscombe Pier, follow the signs from the A338. 

Have a great visit!

Welcome to Bournemouth

We all want that holiday feeling. You know the one. That feeling that you're somewhere else, away from the daily grind, able to truly relax. 

It’s the feeling of the first cold drink in the bar after a hot day in the sun.  The feeling of watching the kids having fun on the beach while you lie back with a good book, the sand warm between your toes. The feeling of your heart pumping as you climb a hill, an expanse of blue sky above you, lush grass beneath your feet. It’s the feeling of adrenaline pumping as you fly down the Pier zip wire, cycle the forest paths, or dance the night away. 

It feels like knowing you can lie in tomorrow, feels like being together, feels like you at your best. All the feelings of your best holiday ever. Find them in Bournemouth.

With seven glorious miles of idyllic coastline you’re sure to find a number of surprising things to do in this beautiful coastal town at any time of year as you and your family create epic memories you’ll treasure forever.
