Parks & Nature
Great for walking, cycling and there's a land train too if your legs are too tired for the journey back. There is a small cafe by the car park and a cafe & restaurant at the beach. Drop into the information centre to learn about history and wildlife. The views are just stunning, but go and see for yourself!

Well, you're visiting Bournemouth right?
Beach, shops, endless events (in summer), water sports (surf,, table tennis, crazy golf, cinema, restaurants, cafe's, high street shops, oceanarium, Harry Ramsdems right on the beach. BBQ's allowed on the beach after 6pm, air show in August/September, showers, toilets, cliff lift and more.
Plenty of parking around the area but be warned, it gets extremely busy in the summer! Go early to get lucky. It's a must if you're visiting the area!
Otherwise if you prefer a quieter beach, the local one down the road is slightly less touristy but still busy in the summer.
