My favourite beaches
Sandbanks
All they say it is great beaches and fabulous harbour - enjoy!
Alum Chine Car Park
Alum Chine Car ParkGreat alternative and sometime a bit less busy than Sandbanks and Bournemouth.
Parks and leisure
A great place to come and chill on a lovely day with amenities nearby and close to Bournemouth town centre and Bournemouth pier. Just bring a blanket and a picnic and you'll feel like one of the locals. It's also great to walk into town from home. It takes about an hour but you'll go through coy pond which is simply lovely any time of year/season.

Take a trip here from Holly Cottage and walk right into town. It takes about an hour and well worth it if you are feeling in the mood.

Great little village which has its own music festival and a real vibe about it. A nice day trip on its own or coupled with other villages and towns along the coastline.

A classic English countryside spot. There are few nice shops, pubs, and restaurants with walks around too. Another nice day trip.
