Top 4 Beach Activities in Bournemouth
Summer is starting to make its way back, and we just can’t wait! Bournemouth comes into its own during this beautiful season, and the beach is everyone’s number one spot. But there is more to do than having late evening BBQ’s and lazy days sunbathing…here are our top 4 beach activities in Bournemouth…
Surfing - Surprising to some, but Bournemouth is a bit of a surfing hot spot, with some calling it ‘The California of the South Coast’. With big south swells, and a sandy shore line, makes it the perfect place for surfing pros and beginners to enjoy. There are many great surf schools to help you on your way, we love and have partnered up with ‘Surf Steps’.
PierZip - Love a thrill? Then you have to have a go at zooming down the PierZip. This isn’t just any zip line, this is the world’s first pier to shore zip wire, with a 250 meter dual wire. The dual line means you can ride along with your friends and even try to race to the shore!
Kayaking & Canoeing - Venture out and discover the open water; experiencing the freedom of nature on a mini expedition. We recommend Aquatic Leisure, who can also provide guided tours exploring Poole Harbour, the Jurassic Coastline and local rivers catering.
Paddle Boarding - Although harder than it looks, standing on the ocean is a soothing practice and fun activity! There are actually many health benefits to paddle boarding, such as improving balance, fitness and reducing stress. We recommend Sandbanks Paddle board hire, for an easy way to get you out on the water.
We can’t wait to be re-opening here at Prime Backpackers Bournemouth on May 17th! With our flexible booking policy, spacious rooms, and community spaces, its never been a better time to start organising your summer holiday.
