COVID-19 is still with us and you should stay cautious to help protect yourself and others
Please do not visit if you need to self-isolate, for example because you have been asked to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or because you are displaying any COVID-19 symptoms (a high temperature, new and persistent cough, or a loss of/change in sense of taste or smell), even if these symptoms are mild.
Meeting outdoors is safer and consider wearing a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
Remember Hands, Face, Space.
Tourism businesses worked hardwelcoming visitors back to our beautiful coastline. . Make sure you Know Before You Go and feel confident about any changes that might have been made to make your stay safe and welcoming.
Visit the business website direct for the most up to date information.
You can also keep an eye out for the 'We’re Good to Go' mark. This is an accredited industry standard mark for all businesses who are COVID-19 secure. Businesses will be displaying this to show that they have followed government procedures.
Many tourism businesses still suggest customers book in advance as they may be operating at reduced capacity or have spaced tables further apart to give more room. They may suggest that, if you can, you continue to wear a mask. We ask you to look out for signage and respect the requests of any businesses that you visit.
Plan in advance of your visit, Know Before You Go and visit Bournemouth with confidence. We look forward to welcoming you.

It goes without saying we love our award-winning golden, sandy beaches, and we all have a responsibility to respect our town, our award-winning seafront, gardens, and open spaces - so whilst you’re here please respect, protect, and enjoy the resort.
If you do visit the beach and it’s too busy, then why not find another quieter area of beach – there’s plenty of seafront to choose from!
To make finding that perfect spot even easier, be sure to download our Beach Check App from your app store. The app uses a simple colour coded system to show you where the quieter areas along the seafront are, allowing you and your loved ones to find the perfect spot to enjoy your day at the beach safely and in peace.
Help our local economy thrive by shopping with local independent businesses. Choosing where to spend our money can have a tremendously positive effect on our communities and the local economy. With so many incredible local businesses in Christchurch many of us already do!
From locally roasted coffee to award winning distilleries, freshly baked artisan bread to independent artists, Christchurch is blessed with stunning and specialist business owners that you won’t find anywhere else.
Local independent businesses give our communities character. It’s one of the reasons so many people come to visit. At times when these businesses can’t stay open it’s even more important to support them online. Instead of shopping with big-name retailers, you can make an active choice to support your local economy and help our communities thrive.
Visiotrs are encouraged to downloaded the NHS Track and Trace app to support the government’s coronavirus response.
The National Health Service are encouraging anyone with a non-emergency medical problem to call 111 as their first point of contact. If you fall unwell whilst visiting our area, and the situation does not require emergency medical treatment, then either call 111 or access the 111 websites for all the information you need.
