Boscombe beach leading to Southbourne beach is quieter than Bournemouth. The Harvester, Urban Reef, The Woodfired Oven are also along this beach. You can enjoy a walk towards Southbourne and pop up the zig zags to Cafe Riva or further along Bistro on the Beach. If you are full on energy then why not carry on to Hengistbury Head, look out for the polar bear!
