This is one of my happy places. We have taken our sons there since they were 1 and now they are in their 30s. Great facilities and food 'shacks' but the recently reopened restaurant is suffering from 'teething' problems. Hopefully it will get better and do justice to the beautiful beach. Great skies

This is my go to place, nice and close parking to the beach, and you can take a leisurely walk down to sandbanks, either on the promenade or by the waters edge on the beach. The parking is very limited, and will be impacted on, now that Rockwater is open there.
Lovely place to walk or just relax on the sandy beach. On the top of the cliff the Garden is just an amazing place to chill and enjoy the view to the Sea.
Lovely beach, parking was easy and personally I thought very cheap, the restaurant was under renovation not a lot you could do about that. The food hut was good and public toilets that didn’t charge!!!! The beach was a clean as it can be with life guards on hand and very good
Lovely beach will come
Gorgeous beach. Very clean with plenty of amenities. Dog friendly and dog free areas, and even dedicated outdoor grills you could use to hsve your own barbecue which is a phenomenal idea! Stops littering and damage with those disposable grills.
Wonderful sandy beach with a dog friendly section. Good parking, toilets and a decent cafe for a pit stop.
A beautiful beach, fairly level walk into the sea with no rocks. Small food outlet and public toilets. A new restaurant has opened but looks expensive. Public bbq are available to use. Wish people would respect the rules though no dose til end Sept take ur rubbish home etc
Clean, sandy beach with plenty of space for everyone. Expensive but available car parking. Accessible toilets. Interesting food service with good seafood choices.
Endless strip of sandy beach, where dogs and owners are able to walk freely and soak up the breathtaking scenery. There is only one option for a coffee and bit of food which means you would need to walk further down for more restaurants. However, the beach is clean and quiet so would definitely reco
Great beach for dogs but needs more near public loos, surprised the car park had spaces at mid day !!

I still find it surprising that in our last two visits (although, almost a year apart) the beach is not as busy as I would have expected! Agree with other reviews that parking can be tricky but considering the sheer size and stretch of that section of coastline, it's hardly surpri
Could be the best beach/view in world, save bathing shallow water, very small tide, sand amazing, great facilities now with Rockwater cafe.
Beautiful soft sand. Draws huge crowd when weather is good. Car park becomes full quickly - we parked elsewhere and walked. Steep hill to climb heading back to car. Recommend a picnic as cafes acquire huge queues when sunny. Very clean beach.
Do not come here it's a lovely sandy beach with great facilities I'd like to keep it to myself thanks
Fabulous. Parking £2.80 for 1 hour, not bad in the scheme of things. Sea looked inviting (but didn't take a dip, 1 guy did). Sand very clean. Can take dogs onto beach from October 1st. Great walk along to Canford Cliffs beach. Softy ice cream to finish, heaven.
Very active beach this morning. Great open area to visit for the day, have a walk or take the dogs. We brought a coffee and enjoyed the view. Limited Paid parking available using coin, card or by App. Toilet facilities on the beach as well.
So beautiful down there, particularly on a sunny day. The beach is probably one of the best across the entire Bournemouth and Poole coastline, with a feel that you could be somewhere stunning in the States. New restaurant opened right on the beach, well worth a visit.
