I had a very good day in Bournemouth and an extremely hot day had been arranged for me! I walked right along the beach and the sand looked beautifully clean and well maintained as was the park nearest the pier. I just had a couple of reservations, however. The promenade was extremely busy with walkers but I cannot understand why... More

The best thing I can say is that in the height of summer you could mistake this place for a resort abroad. The beach is kept so clean (even if tourists do leave loads of mess it gets cleared by morning) and you have great facilities, great views, great sand and great sea. Nothing else in the UK comes close. More

As beaches go this is one of the better ones along the south coast. There is plenty of space, its very clean & there is a number of bars & restaurants to meet all tastes from the old fashioned cafes to more formal dining and cocktail bars. certainly worth a look. More

Great walks along the beach front. Two Harvester pub/restaurants either end of the walk. More

very clean didnt like the fact you had to pay to get onto the pier then the resturant at the end was closed! More

Beautiful beach which we have been visiting for years as it's just down the road from us. We were lucky enough to have our wedding photo's on this beach too in September last year, simply fabulous! More

we like that there is no traffic on the road next to the beach and you can walk to Salcombe in safety.The beach is clean and family friendly not too far to walk to the sea from the top of the beach. More

Lovely beach, plenty of lifeguards and child safety points. Beautiful beach walks and lots of entertainment available if you want it. More

Amazing beach perfect for kids and couples. Lots of activitys to watch and join in on. Great for tiring out children... Harvester on the beach was lovely. More
