The local area
The vibrant seaside village of Southbourne is full of life and with award winning sandy beaches with views across the bay to Bournemouth, Sandbanks, Studland and Old Harry Rocks, it’s a fantastic spot to stay. The village has a bustling high street filled with small independently owned shops and an array of bars, cafes, restaurants and pubs. A 10 minute walk from the high street leads you towards the pretty clifftops with accessible walking paths leading right down to the beach via the slopes.
Once on the beach you can cycle and walk along the flat promenade going east to Hengistbury Head and west towards Sandbanks. During the busy months of July and August cycling is not permitted along the promenades between 10am – 6pm however an evening cycle during the warmer months will surely recharge the batteries after a long day exploring this wonderful part of Dorset.
Southbourne Beach is one of Bournemouth’s treasures with its Blue flag award winning beach.
