Hengistbury Head Beach

Good sand. Usually calm sea. Large but quite expensive cafe behind the huts. Seasonal opening. Long walk to the beach but the land train operates all to October. Check for other timed. Toilets available. Photo is a few yards rond the head

What a great little beach, not a lot happening in the area but if you're looking for a nice sandy beach for the doggo to run and play then this might just be the place for you. There is a good size car park which is reasonably priced and very easy to find, there is a cafe just by the car park which serves nice ice-creams and some food too if you're not in a hurry. Further down the beach away from the car park is a small bar and restaurant by the local beach huts and you can walk back along the cliff tops if you don't want to double back on yourself and do the beach again.

Beautiful Beach and cliff. Situated about 30 mins from Bournemouth. The beaches are not busy at all, plus it offers a very good view of Isle of Wight. Fantastic place to just go for a walk, especially with your pets. Lots of greenery and beautiful walking trails. Also offers some great views of the Mudeford Sandbank Beach.

Nice beach and landscape park. Visited twice, on a December Friday afternoon and an August bank holiday Sunday. Almost empty in December, but still very nice. Extremely busy in August, at least in the main tourist spots. Quite pleasant if you walked a bit further away from the crowds.

Stunning place for a walk, lovely sea, beach and great views. Love the little colourful beach houses. Has a nice cafe and good toilet facilities.
