“Urban reef restaurant is right on boscombe beach promenade and offers nice drinks, coffees and good gastro pub food. But beware, the beach can be very busy here as it’s the entrance point to that stretch of beach. You can also hire paddle boards from here. Make sure you arrive early though as demand is always high. At 7am the water is generally a lot calmer so get out early. ”

“This place is a must for any aviation enthusiast. There are loads of aircraft here crammed onto a site which is across the road from the Bournemouth International Airport. If you ever wanted to sit at the controls of a jet fighter or take a closer look at a helicopter this is the place to go. All of the exhibits allow hands on close up experiences of the aircraft with local enthusiasts frequently on hand to answer any questions. If you fancy yourself a try at air traffic control you can take a look in the mini control tower which shows active radar pictures of live flights in the area. Check the website for opening times and prices.”

“Here is the train station, with direct trains to London. Also car hire and coach station.”
