Fisherman's Walk beach

Fisherman's walk beach is arguably the best of a fine set of beaches that collectively make up the Bournemouth beaches. Somewhat quieter than the main Bournemouth beaches of East Cliff and West Cliff, Fisherman's Walk is still a bustling friendly beach with acres of sand.

It is one of five in Bournemouth to possess a coveted Blue flag in recognition of high standards of cleanliness and water purity.

Cycling is allowed, but pedestrians have priority. Keep your speed below 10mph and follow seasonal restrictions in place for July and August on seafront promenades and paths to avoid fines.

From 1 May to 30 September, dogs are not allowed on Fisherman's Walk beach and must be kept on a lead on the promenade, paths and zig zags at all times.

Find the nearest year-round dog friendly beach and remember to pick up after your dog.
