Bournemouth, Dorset

Bournemouth is in the middle of the south coast of England and on a clear day, enjoys some spectacular views east to the Isle of Wight and west to the Old Harry Rock and Swanage Bay.

With seven miles of golden sands stretching between Southbourne, through Boscombe, East Cliff and central Bournemouth to West Cliff, you'll not be short of beach, promenade walks or food and entertainment. Like many seaside resorts Bournemouth offers a Kids Zone colour coding system so you can relax while the kids play.

Bournemouth also has excellent facilities for sailing, water skiing, jet ski, parascending, speedboat rides, powerboat courses, surfing and windsurfing.
