Last year we ended exploration of
Dorset coastline at
Christchurch, last weekend we resumed paying visit to Boscombe beach. It is sandy, wide, there is enough pebbles to keep the boy uccupied and enough shells (actually awfully lot) to entertain the woman. Along the road on top of the cliff there are free parking spaces. There is wide tarmac pavement along the beach, it is very popular with cyclists. But fear not, there is riding ban over summer months, although I suspect trying to cycle at that time would be impossible anyway: good access to so nice beach means in must be packed, actually when we were leaving there was no free parking space left, and the beach was nearly empty! I also don't think there are enough of facilities like toilets to serve the crowd. We visited the pier and although from otside not as exceptional as the one in Clevedon, nevertheless nice to walk along. I liked the exhibition shwing facts from its history very much.
On the way back we drove through Bournemouth and had a look at the main beach: few (and paid) parking spaces, funfair at the entrance to the pier, and presumably even more packed. So we will skip that for the next visit to that area. For now some memories from Boscombe:
