About

COVID-19 - Under these unprecedented circumstances, please adhere to current government guidelines.

When visiting our beaches, try to avoid the crowds by viewing our Beach Check page which features a live map and a free application to download showcasing how busy the beach areas are and other useful information that will prepare you for your trip to our wonderful destination. ​​​​​

Buckets and spades at the ready... welcome to seven miles of award-winning beaches! Nestled beneath a magnificent cliff line, the bay enjoys its own micro-climate, some of the warmest sea temperatures in the UK and stunning views of the Isle of Wight and the Purbecks.

In order to make your trip to the beach as enjoyable as possible, seafront offices are located across seven miles with dedicated teams who can help you make the most of your day out, by providing information and LV=KidZone wristbands.  Relax with your own spot of paradise along the glorious sands and book a beach hut.

Beach safety

To stay safe at the beach, always swim at a lifeguarded beach between the red and yellow flags and never swim alone.  For exact locations and patrol times of the lifeguarded beaches across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole visit the RNLI website.
