Known for being one of the best beaches in Dorset<\/a>, Bournemouth Beach has long been a bustling hotspot for tourists. Stretching over seven miles in length, this beach is home to the historic Bournemouth Pier and is easily reachable from the town, making it an ideal place to visit if you\u2019re staying here on your next break.<\/p>\n

Home to the first public beach hut ever built in the UK and a host of places to eat and drink, you can quite easily spend a full day here, whether it be lounging on the golden sands, swimming in the sea or simply soaking up the sunshine.
