Absolutely loved our weekend at Pier Beach. It’s got the perfect mix of beautiful beach, great facilities, and that classic Bournemouth seaside feel. We feeling relaxed, refreshed, and my daughter loved the tides as it was very windy and already planning our next trip. Highly recommend

I really enjoyed in this beach. The beach has very beautiful views. The beach is cleaned and maintained in good condition as well.

Free to enter, either at the sides or through the amusement arcade. Limited bench seating with a small theatre and a large bar at the end. There's also some children's rides eg helter skelter, small bikes etc, but these like the theatre and zip line to the beach were closed during my visit. Nice sea breeze at the end.

Went to the pier and it was lovely and clean, any staff encountered were nice and polite. Only negative was purely based on visitors themselves and lack of thought for the beautiful area when leaving their litter. Will definitely return and recommend

Nice place to walk, but not a single thing open (June 2nd, 5pm) Faded grandeur, just starting to happen? (As an aside, the price of parking in Bournemouth is at central London levels, which might explain this?)
