Since the town’s inclusion in Augustus Granville’s The Spas of England, Bournemouth’s beaches have been welcoming tourists from all over the country. Bournemouth was long considered as a tourist destination that catered more towards the older generations, but has become a magnet for holidaymakers of all ages. Located on the south coast of England, Bournemouth provides surfers with some of the best waves in the world. Bournemouth’s popularity owes a lot to the success of its university, a hub for creativity. With all this, as well as a high-flying football club, hire a car in Bournemouth and find out why everyone is talking about this seaside resort.
We recommend taking a stroll down the promenade and taking in the beautiful views beside Bournemouth’s coastline. Along this stretch you can expect to find some great art galleries and museums. One of the finest of these is the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery, an impressive cliff top villa that houses a superb collection of Victorian-era art. Rent a car in Bournemouth and visit the world’s second largest natural harbour in the nearby town of Poole; here you can find a range of fantastic boat trips around islands such as Brownsea Island, home to the famous castle.
