Exploring the Beautiful Bournemouth Beach

11/28/18 | Bournemouth, England, Travel, United Kingdom

Bournemouth Beach - Rainbow Beach Huts 02

When my parents came to visit England in early November I really scratched my head on building a fun week-long itinerary for them. You may recall I put together an extensive London guide but seeing as my parents have been to the UK capital at least half a dozen times there were too many new things for them so I planned a journey to the South coast – a weekend in Bournemouth with a big bike trip in the New Forest. The New Forest will certainly get it’s own post but today I wanted to show you a bit of this seaside down, known for it’s miles of beaches and Victorian architecture.

When you Google the city one of two things will come up – the pier with the Ferris Wheel or the rainbow beach huts that stretch down Southbourne Beach. Well during our time, we saw both of them but I was definitely drawn to the huts.  According to the website there are over two hundred beach huts available for rental – whether daily, weekly, seasonally, or annually but it was the 70+ rainbow hue ones that drew my eye.  My Dad joked that it looked like they went to the paint store, bought a can of each color, and went to town and I could not help but agree – however, it makes for a stunning backdrop.  Take a look at the beautiful  Bournemouth Beach:

Doesn’t this look like a place you would want to visit?

    Bournemouth Beach is definitely a place I would want to visit, maybe when it was a bit warmer than when you were there. Your mom and dad looked pretty bundled up so it is hard to believe that guys were surfing at the same time.

    Cute spot.

    Yes I want to visit this beach.

    Those beach cabannanas are adorable. Love the colors.

    I would spend every free moment there if I lived closer.
