Welcome to Poole
Welcome to Poole: a maritime experience complete with luxurious golden sands, ancient history and the backdrop of the Jurassic Coast.
We all want that holiday feeling. You know the one. That feeling that you're somewhere else, away from the daily grind, able to truly relax.
It’s the feeling of the first cold drink in the bar after a hot day in the sun. Kicking back at one of the quayside restaurants along the shores of Europe’s largest natural harbour. The feeling of watching the kids having fun on the beach while you lie back with a good book, the sand warm between your toes. The feeling of your heart pumping as you climb a hill, an expanse of blue sky above you, lush grass beneath your feet. It’s the feeling of adrenaline pumping as you aquaplane across the water, the thrill of weightlessness when flying in the air and being at one with nature.
It feels like knowing you can lie in tomorrow, feels like being together, feels like you at your best. All the feelings of your best holiday ever. Find them in Poole.

If adventure and thrills is your thing our coastline and surrounding countryside offers some excellent and exciting watersports and land-based activities.
Explore the historic quayside, host to visiting tall ships, fishing vessels and luxury motor yachts, before delving into the heart of the Old Town to discover more about this town’s links to its maritime past. Book a boat trip from the quay to discover the harbour’s unique islands and striking peninsula.
Treat your family to a memorable dining experience… book a table outside with a view at one of our many fabulous restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars. Poole is home to some of the finest seafood in the south with restaurants boasting envious seascapes. Enjoy the lighter evenings with a beautiful sunset evening meal – indulge and have your fill of food and drink from our wonderful offering of eateries.
