Welcome to Poole: a maritime experience complete with luxurious golden sands, ancient history and the backdrop of the Jurassic Coast.

Book ahead this autumn and come and stay in Poole for that well-deserved break. Poole and the surrounding area offers a choice of stunning hotels overlooking the sea, to cosy B&B’s, unique self-catering properties and family camping and caravan sites.

If you’re planning a day trip to the beach download the Beach Check App. We want you to have the best experience when visiting our beautiful beaches on the south coast, so we have created an interactive map and mobile application which allows you to see how busy they are before you go down. 

If you are looking for some new ideas or inspiration to plan your perfect break, take a look at our Things To Do pages showcasing exciting and interesting places to visit, things to see and do for all the family, whatever the weather. 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 you and your family to a memorable autumn dining experience… book a table inside or out…at one of our fabulous restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars. Poole is home to some of the finest seafood in the south with restaurants boasting envious seascapes for that beautiful sunset-lit evening meal – indulge and have your fill of food and drink from our wonderful offering of eateries.

With so many things to do along the beautiful south coast, it is little wonder why our visitors return again and again for the exceptional events we host every year so that you can build treasured memories you’ll never forget.
