Boscombe Beach Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

Never again on a hot day when the beaches and promenade are teeming with people

Tip by

1.85 km

This Victorian pier stretches out into the bay to the east of Bournemouth pier. Free to walk along, it provides a wonderful vantage point from which to admire the land, look across to the Old Harry Rocks at Studland to the west and the Isle of Wight to the east.

The pier itself has food outlets, mini golf and other attractions. The mini golf is rather clever in that it uses a biodegradable shell with fish food inside. When the balls inevitably get thwacked over the edge of the pier, they become fish food!

Boscombe Beach and Pier

Highlight • Bridge

Boscombe Beach is a popular stretch of sand next to Boscombe Pier. It's a great place to enjoy beach activities like volleyball, slacklining, table tennis and bouldering.

The beach has all the attractions that make the British seaside unique – there are lots of traditional kiosks on the pier.

Bournemouth Beach Huts

Highlight • Rest Area

Bournemouth’s beach huts: proving since the 1900s that humanity’s greatest architectural achievement is paying a small fortune just to sit in a brightly painted shed, eating sandy sandwiches in the British rain.

Sunrise at Bournemouth Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Something so magical about catching a sunrise on the beach

Fisherman's Walk Cliff Lift

Highlight • Rest Area

Fishermans Walk Lift is designed to serve the Southbourne and Boscombe promenades.
Opened in 1935 by the borough engineer, Mr F P Delamore, Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway is by far the youngest of the town's three lines. Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway is very similar to its earlier counterparts. The line carried two 12-seater passenger cars and was originally wound by a 21 h.p. 500V DC motor.
Just as in the case of the East Cliff and West Cliff railways, the cliff railway at Fisherman's Walk has entrance buildings at both ends of the line.
Open between April and October.
