BOURNEMOUTH & POOLE, DORSET, UK – Get ready to secure your perfect spot on the sand as bookings for Bournemouth & Poole's highly sought-after beach huts for the 2025 season have opened. In a move designed to enhance the visitor experience, new flexible and user-friendly options are now available, making it easier than ever to enjoy a classic seaside holiday.
Stretching from the prestigious Sandbanks to the charming Southbourne, the iconic beach huts are a quintessential part of the Bournemouth and Poole coastal experience. This year, visitors will benefit from significant changes, including the reintroduction of one-week hires for the first time in five years. This replaces the previous four-week minimum, offering greater flexibility for holidaymakers planning shorter stays.
The booking process itself has received a major upgrade with the launch of a new online system. This streamlined platform allows beachgoers to view all pricing, check availability, and even book multiple huts for various durations within a single transaction. Prices for a weekly hire start from just £119, subject to availability and the time of year.
For those who prefer a more spontaneous trip to the coast, same-day bookings for daily hire will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. These can be secured in person at the Tourist Information Centre at Bournemouth Pier Approach, with prices starting from as little as £19.
Adding to the convenience, visitors will now have longer to enjoy their seaside retreat, with the key return time extended to 5pm on the last day of the booking.
Councillor Richard Herrett, Portfolio Holder for Destination, Leisure and Commercial Operations at BCP Council, said: “I am delighted that beach hut bookings for the upcoming season are once again open - and it couldn’t come at a better time with TripAdvisor recently declaring Bournemouth beach as 12th best in the world.”
“For the first time since 2019, visitors can book beach huts for one week or longer - allowing for greater flexibility - and our new booking system means guests can seamlessly book multiple huts and multiple periods within the same booking,” he added. “We all know the importance of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole’s beaches to the area’s thriving visitor economy, and I look forward to welcoming millions of visitors once again this summer to see just why we’re considered among the world’s best beaches according to TripAdvisor’s 2025 Travellers’ Choice Awards.”
