Since all of the town’s attractions like Bournemouth Pier and Oceanarium are centred around Bournemouth Beach, it’s the ideal location for families and first-time visitors. As well as attractions, shops, cafes, and restaurants are all within walking distance too.
For even more choice of shops, restaurants, and cafes, consider staying in the commercial centre. At the heart of the town’s happenings, you can shop, eat, and drink to your heart’s content. Plus, it’s the perfect place from which to experience Bournemouth’s nightlife.
To experience a quieter and more quaint seaside town, consider staying in Christchurch which neighbours Bournemouth. With Gothic churches, thatched-roofed cottages, and ancient monuments, it is bursting with British history and culture. Between its upmarket attitude and refined boutiques and cafes, Christchurch is ideal for those with a bigger budget.
Those that want to immerse in the incredible Jurrasic Coast nature might prefer to stay near Poole. Brownsea Island, Hartland Moor Nature Reserve, and many other favourite coastal hiking spots can be easily reached from this pretty Georgian town.
