Quick Town tour!

If you only have time for one walk during your stay, do this: Head down to the Square, across the Lower Gardens and finish at the Bournouth Pier Approach. Then take a nice and relaxing stroll along the beach. If you have time, you can walk all the way to Boscombe Pier and watch the surfers brave the waves. You will love it!
