Visiting Bournemouth

In vibrant Bournemouth life is all about the seven miles of golden beaches. You can hire beach huts to relax in between building sand castles, and water sports enthusiasts could head to Europe’s first artificial surf reef at Boscombe for superb surfing.

There are plenty more things to do in Bournemouth. A pier to pier walk can be a good way to take in the coastline. Or visit the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, an eccentric Victorian villa housing an important collection of art and contemporary craft.

Tips: The Triangle area has restaurants, wine-bars and gay-friendly nightlife.
