Bournemouth fits a whole holiday into a compact town you can cross on foot. Between breakfast and sunset you can swim from a sandy beach, walk the length of a Victorian pier, drift through landscaped gardens and watch the light go over Poole Bay from the clifftop.
Below is the full list of things to do: the headline attractions, the free gardens and green spaces, the watersports at Boscombe and the coast walks out to the nature reserves at either end of the bay. Filter by area to plan around where you are staying.
