Stay safe, follow Government advice
and travel responsibly!
With golden sands and the glittering sea of the Dorset coast, the southern English

forms the ideal setting for a family to relax and reconnect during this unprecedented
time. Home to
four Blue Flag beaches and some of the safest beaches in the country, Bournemouth is a

the parents
while relaxing under the sun. Bournemouth's beautiful promenades with mouth-watering
fish and chips,
combined with the famous Boscombe Pier and Bournemouth Pier, ensure there's always
plenty of
Punch-and-Judy-style family fun on offer. An eclectic mix of nature reserves, a
Victorian town
centre, adventure parks, Marwell Zoo and sites of interest such as the nearby
Stonehenge, make
Bournemouth an attractive option for a family holiday. Please help to maintain the
safety of your
own and other British families when travelling by remembering to follow the guidelines
