Generations have been drawn to this serene stretch of coastline to bask in natural beauty and gaze out at the sparkling horizon. And then, of course, there’s the beach itself.

If relaxation is what you’re after, this part of Dorset delivers in spades, though there’s also a lively social scene to enjoy in the bars and restaurants. Whatever kind of experience you’re after, Bournemouth holiday rentals will make you feel like a local.

Top things to do in Bournemouth

It’s not just the beach that makes the coastline so appealing. There’s also Bournemouth Pier, with its classic arcade attractions, and sweeping views across the English Channel. If you’re feeling brave, you can take a ride on the pier-to-shore zip line, too. Or, if you’re after a more soothing distraction, you can head to the Oceanarium, where kids and adults alike will be awestruck by underwater tunnels surrounded by sleek sharks and vibrant Barrier Reef fish. Afterwards, you can go for an amble through the Lower, Central and Upper Gardens, perhaps stopping for a round of mini-golf. One of the most dazzling cultural attractions near Bournemouth holiday rentals is the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum. The house itself looks like a Victorian manor crossed with something from a fairy tale, and within its gilded walls you can see works by the likes or Rossetti and Landseer, and admire the stone grotto of the lush garden.

Getting around in Bournemouth

It almost goes without saying that you won’t need to worry too much about public transport in this neck of the woods. Bournemouth is marvellously compact, and it’s a real pleasure to stroll the promenade, admire the beach views and check out the local pubs and restaurants. However, there are other lovely locations close by, so it might be worth hiring a car to visit historic spots like Highcliffe Castle, a 19th-century mansion overlooking a bay, bedecked with gothic revival features.
