Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bournemouth good for families?
Yes, it is one of the best family destinations in the UK. The beaches are sandy and safe with lifeguards in summer. Attractions like the Oceanarium, Adventure Wonderland, and the parks in the Lower Gardens provide endless entertainment for children of all ages.
What is the best time to visit?
Summer (July-August) is perfect for a classic beach holiday, but Bournemouth benefits from a mild microclimate that makes it a great year-round destination. Spring and autumn are quieter and often sunny, while winter offers dramatic seascapes and the popular "Christmas Tree Wonderland" event.
What's the difference between Bournemouth, Poole, and Sandbanks?
Bournemouth is the vibrant heart, famous for its pier, gardens, and sandy beaches. Poole is home to the massive natural harbour and historic quay. Sandbanks is a small, exclusive peninsula between them, known for luxury properties and one of the finest beaches in the country.
How close is the New Forest?
Very close. You can drive from Bournemouth to the edge of the New Forest National Park in about 20-30 minutes. This makes it incredibly easy to combine a coastal holiday with days out exploring the ancient woodlands and heathlands.
Are dogs allowed on the beaches?
The main beaches have seasonal restrictions (usually May-September), but there are dedicated dog-friendly zones year-round at Alum Chine, Middle Chine, and Fisherman's Walk. In the winter, dogs are welcome on almost all beaches without restriction.
