Dogs are not permitted on Bournemouth’s central beach between 1 May and 30 September
Bournemouth's magnificent seven-mile stretch of golden sand has been the jewel of the English Riviera since Victorian times, offering one of the finest urban beaches in Europe with its gently sloping shoreline and excellent water quality. The beach is perfectly equipped for all ages and interests, featuring traditional beach huts, modern beach pods, water sports facilities, and the famous Bournemouth Pier with its climbing wall and zip line. The resort's year-round appeal is enhanced by its award-winning gardens, vibrant nightlife, and cultural attractions, while the beach itself hosts numerous events from air shows to sand sculpture festivals. Excellent transport links, comprehensive facilities including beach wheelchairs and accessible paths, and a wide range of accommodation options make Bournemouth an ideal destination for everyone from families to young travelers, all drawn by its unique combination of traditional seaside charm and contemporary resort amenities.
