Coronavirus - Know Before You Go
Last Updated 19/07/2021
Following the recent government announcements with news that restrictions have been eased across the country, we look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful coastline this summer.
Tourism businesses have been working so hard to get ready for us, but things will be slightly different. 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.
It is worth noting that many tourism businesses will still require customers to book in advance and will not be allowing walk in visitors. There has been huge demand for tickets and this is set to continue all summer. With many businesses still operating at reduced capacity, it is so important to make sure you plan ahead and book well in advance if required. Always visit the business websites direct for the most up to date information.
You can also keep an eye out for the 'Were 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 in their preparations to welcome us back.
Plan in advance of your visit and make sure you Know Before You Go and visit Bournemouth with confidence.

Respect, Protect & Enjoy
We know that you have missed visiting our resort just as much as we have missed being able to welcome you here with open arms, sandy beaches, and bustling town centres.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen your happy smiling faces at our favourite spots. Now, we want to encourage people to enjoy their newfound freedom responsibly.
All we ask upon your return is that you follow our guidelines to “Respect, Protect & Enjoy” and allow everybody the equal chance to visit our beautiful resort while feeling safe, secure, and welcome.
Our beaches are awesome. Don’t make them rubbish
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 Bournemouth many of us already do!
From locally roasted coffee to award winning distilleries, freshly baked artisan bread to independent artists, Bournemouth 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.
