Bournemouth Pier

It's a busy area all year round, but the end of summer feeling at this time of year is always a bit sad. The long flat sea front and the pier are always good for a walk and an ice cream, so it's always worth a visit.

First time ever in Bournemouth yesterday and what a fantastic town it is. When you go to the sea from your faces with the magnificent pier. I had to get myself entry. The cost was £1.50. Great idea it will all help with up keep of the pier. As you can see in the pictures below you get some great views. Nice walk up and down.

Actually went there to fish off the pier which we were told was fine in the evening. If you get there after 5.30 you do mot have to pay to walk along the pier. Only issue was the Jet skiers who have an entire ocean to play around in but chose to do there antics in front of the pier.. Be aware of this if you plan on going fishing.

Lovely pier with decent place to have coffee/cake. There is a entry point ticket. Pier is well maintained. However overall beach in over crowded and I would avoid specially in peak summer.

The winter gardens were still a delight to see even this late in the year. Lots of places to sit and rest too. The centre has a variety of shops and it's no problem spending money there !😊
