• Temporada

  Beach season

  15 Mai – 15 Set · normalmenteMar bom para nadarLotado

  Seven miles of sand with lifeguards on through the summer, and the reason a hot weekend puts a hundred thousand people on the trains and the A31. The water is shallow and slow to warm.

• Festival

  Bournemouth 7s

  20 Mai – 1 Jun · normalmenteEvento esportivoLotadoReserve cedo

  A rugby and netball tournament with a music festival attached over the late May bank holiday. It is a camping weekend rather than a town one, and it fills the hotels anyway. Fonte ↗

  English summer holidays

  Seven miles of sand and the whole of the South East on it in a heatwave; the seafront car parks fill by ten and the trains from Waterloo run standing. Sandbanks is the worst of it. Fonte ↗

  Four days of flying displays straight off the beach at the end of August, free to watch and drawing a crowd in the hundreds of thousands. Parking and the seafront road are the problem. Fonte ↗
