It's a lovey Pier. You don't have to pay to walk on the Pier. We walked from Bournemouth. There are buses running as well as the beach train. I believe the train only runs in summer but the busses are available all year round. If you want to drive there, it's also easy but the parking may be an issue. We left our car in Bournemouth over the weekend and walked around on foot. When it was raining we took the bus back.
What a lovely pier on an autumnal 🍂 October afternoon. There’s not a lot to do here, but the musical mystery tour - up and down the pier - is quite fun. The views are spectacular! 🌊
I had been staying in Bournemouth but moved on to a hotel in Boscombe to extend my stay. As it was a Bank Holiday my Bournemouth hotel was booked up so I couldn't stay on there.
The walk, from the hotel to the pier, took me through a public park chine, which was lovely. The pier itself was quiet and just an architectural feature stretching into the water with no funfairs or anything else. There were people out jogging and walking their dogs. The beach was clean and lovely. It was a lovely peaceful place at 07:00 but I'm sure it would have been busier later.
A promenade out to sea, very basic Victorian planked pier, sheltered full length seating and musical instruments installations along its length. Fishing permitted year round, free entry but closed during events, like the airshow as safety issues will dictate.
£16 for whole day parking literally on the beach is something worth the money. Toilets aren't bad, there is enough amount of showers and toilets. During the season I strongly recommend to come early to get a parking spot. The photo of parking prices is for the one before the main beach.
Little bit rocky, but everything else is great if you come early as later it gets a bit packed. There's a bar and u can rent out sun beds
Super day activities, you can hire el. scooter, paddle board, walk miles and miles, also with your dog, bins and toilets are every few metres so the beach is soo clean, BBQ pancha available, fish and chips, ice cream, definitely recommending xo
Down for the day, parked on the upper road.£10:30 for 6hrs the beach is busy but not over crowded food was good not to much of a que, and the ice cream 🍦 just finished it off.
Picturesque and quiet location further away from Bournemouth beach.. stunning views. Great parking on cliff top, use pay by phone and top up where needed.
Lovely beach area with snack and drinks cafes, the pier was lovely to sit and watch the world go by, very clean beach area. My only gripe was parking was expensive £5.50 for 2 hours.
