Explore Poole

Poole’s stunning natural harbour is the largest in Europe.  With its eight unique islands and striking peninsula, the harbour is a haven for sailors, wildlife and watersports and is gateway to the world heritage Jurassic Coast.  From the world famous Sandbanks beach to the bustling quayside, historic old town and top attractions, you can tailor your trip and create unique experiences for your group in Poole.  Visit our Group Itineraries page for ideas and inspiration. Or take a look at our fabulous Group and Coach guide.

A warm welcome awaits…

On arrival in Poole, why not visit the Poole Tourist Information Centre Team. They have now moved to Hennings on the Quay in Poole, whilst Poole Museum is temporarily closed for redevelopment. Open seven days a week, you’ll get a warm welcome from our friendly staff who can help you with ideas to make the most of your group stay in Poole. (closed for refurbishment until Summer 2025)


Pick up a street map to help find your way around, or a self guided cockle trail leaflet to learn more about Poole’s fascinating history. Staff have all the knowledge on best things to see and do and places to eat. You’ll also find gifts and souvenirs on sale – the prefect present or reminder of your stay in Poole.
