About Bournemouth

Bournemouth is a seaside resort on England's south coast, with miles of golden sand, pine-clad chines, a Victorian pier and a lively seafront.

Bournemouth grew from a few houses on a heathland coast in the early nineteenth century into one of England's best-known seaside resorts. A wide sandy beach stretches for about eleven kilometres, backed by cliffs, gardens and a pier, and steep wooded ravines called chines cut down to the sea.
