Long considered to be one of the South Coast's top tourist destinations, Bournemouth, with its thriving club scene, miles of golden sand and second largest surfing community in the UK, is home to one of the busiest resort-style beaches in the country. This popular seafront is safe and clean if a little hectic; the central section of Bournemouth beach, around the pier will see thousands of visitors a day in peak season.
Proximity to the centre of town means good access to facilities and easy shopping, while in summer a weekly firework display adds to the excitement.
