You are here: Things To Do > Alum Chine Beach
It goes without saying we love our beaches, and we all have a responsibility to respect our town, our award-winning seafront, gardens and open spaces - so whilst you’re here please respect, protect and enjoy the resort.
If you do visit the beach and it’s too busy, then why not find another quieter area of beach – there’s plenty of seafront to choose from!
#RespectProtectEnjoy
Alum Chine Beach is probably one of Bournemouth's favourite Blue Flag award winning beaches, particularly loved by the locals for its wide, exceptionally clean, sandy and shingle beaches situated further to the West of Bournemouth, away from the hustle and bustle of Bournemouth Pier and the town centre.
It's hugely popular with young families due to a pirate-themed large adventure playground, toilets with baby changing facilities, lost children centres, RNLI lifeguard stations, pubs and ice cream kiosks. Children will also delight at waving to the land train which drives past frequently on the promenade from Bournemouth Pier to Alum Chine Beach. (Currently not operating until further notice)
Alum Chine is home to a beautiful Tropical Garden which is situated to the rear of the beach just into Alum Chine and immediately above the children's play ground.
Award winning Alum Chine Beach also has an abundance of colourful beach huts to rent all year round from the local beach office. 21 new super huts have recently been constructed offering a wider variety of accommodation at the beach. Why not book your beach hut today!
