7-Mile Beach
Backed by 3000 deck chairs, Bournemouth's big draw is its 7-mile sandy beach. Regularly clocking up seaside awards, it stretches from Southborne in the far east to Alum Chine in the west - an immense promenade backed by ornamental gardens, cafés and toilets. It also prides itself on two piers (Bournemouth and Boscombe).
Around Bournemouth Pier you can be part of centuries of tradition and hire beach chalets, deck chairs, windbreaks and parasols, as well as sit-on-board kayaks.

Bournemouth Beach
Backed by 3000 deckchairs, Bournemouth's sandy shoreline regularly clocks up seaside awards. It stretches from Southborne in the far east to Alum Chine in the west – an immense promenade backed by ornamental gardens, kids playgrounds and cafes. The resort also prides itself on two piers (Bournemouth and Boscombe). Around Bournemouth Pier you can hire brightly painted beach huts, deckchairs (per day £2), windbreaks (£2.50) and parasols (£4).
At the East Cliff Lift Railway, cable cars on rails whiz up bracken-covered slopes, cutting out the short, steep hike up the zigzag paths.
