With seven golden miles of award-winning beaches, spectacular festivals and events, year-round attractions and a plethora of exciting places to visit nearby, its no wonder Bournemouth is such a firm favourite with visitors. The soft golden sands set the scene for hours of fun and provide a golden backdrop to many other seaside activities and attractions including: boat trips, Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers, amusement arcades and a land train that runs along the seafront. As well as the beaches, Bournemouth boasts a number of exciting attractions, leisure and entertainment facilities and the Bournemouth Premier Attractions Group offers attractions such as the IMAX cinema, the Dorset Belles, the Oceanarium and the Bournemouth International Centre. Bournemouth is also the perfect base from which to explore Dorset, the New Forest and beyond, where you'll discover fun parks, wildlife attractions, museums, historic houses and gardens.
