A short distance from the centre of Bournemouth, the Bournemouth suburb of Southbourne has its own sandy beach and neighbourhood amenities. Along with a Post Office, gift shops, and cafes, it's a wonderful place to find independent stores and boutiques. A funicular railway called the Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway connects the promenade and beach area to the coastal road. Every season, nearby Bournemouth has something to offer everyone. Seven miles of golden, Blue Flag-certified beaches, a variety of watersports, boat tours, and breathtaking gardens will keep you occupied all day. Or why not browse the town's bustling retail district, which has a wide variety of specialty and curiosity stores. You'll also have a tonne of options for evening entertainment, including a wide variety of restaurants to suit all budgets, lively clubs, bars, and movie theatres, as well as top-notch performances and events at both The Pavilion Theatre and The Bournemouth International Centre.
