Visit Bournemouth

Scruffy and very tatty. Tents camping on beach littered with rubbish.This used to be a prime seaside town, safe and pleasant to walk out in the evening.My perception is nobody cares about the area, with restaurants and bars littered with dirty glasses and plates.

So sorry it's lost a lot of old world charm due to the untramelled wealth which has moved in. Neither the bus tour nor big wheel were worth the money. The wheel is in the wrong place for a good view and the staff on the bus tour knew nothing of interest nor history. It was an automated commentary with no character. The only stop provided no refreshments nor facilities. The beach and pier are lovely and great fun for families. I like the buzz of young people the university gives it.

Lots of unusual looking shops and good restaurants and an enormous number of high quality hotels near the beach in Bournemouth. I didn’t have any time to explore all the areas of interest. Local people were extremely helpful and kind. Regular buses until late at night to Poole and I’m sure many other areas.

Boscombe Beach was quieter than Bournemouth Beach however both were great. With golden soft sand and the areas were clean made the visits well worth it. Boscombe - quiet, calm, golden sand and great for evening strolls. Bournemouth - busier, lots of amenities, golden sand and great for everyone. The views for both were lovely and I was lucky the weather was absolutely beautiful. Staff at the Bournemouth Beach and local shops were friendly, helpful and genuinely lovely. Parking may be slightly high for some people's budget however I was visiting for work and then spent the next day for me so didn't mind spending. I also drove to the sandbanks.

There is a great bus service throughout Bournemouth and the surrounding area. The car remained parked for the holiday and we took trips out on the local service. There are lots of places to eat and plenty of entertainment. Lots of shops with something for everyone Never been before but will be going back.

I used Bournemouth for my base as I was visiting family in area. Used local buses to Poole with ease daily. Hotel was ideally situated for all of my needs. I walked the beach and pier after breakfast each morning and enjoyed the restaurants when I was not visiting family. The beach was clean and sand soft , perfect for families with children and sandcastles ! Plenty of restaurants to suit every pocket. Local buses run very frequently to many destinations in and around Bournemouth and beyond. Well worth a visit
