Poole is looking forward to welcoming people back to the beach this summer and in anticipation of our busy periods we are providing two new convenient Park & Ride services to use.
Don’t waste precious time struggling to find a parking space when you can catch the Park & Ride Beach Bus which can save you money too!
If you are visiting Sandbanks then hopping on Morebus Service 60 is the easiest option. There’s a great choice of beach destinations with the bus stopping at Shore Road, Sandbanks Pavillion and Panorama Road for the Ferry.
From 24th July to 5th September 2021 inclusive please park in the Civic Centre Multi Storey Carpark which will be FREE for this period.
Buses for this service leave from the stop on Parkstone Road by White Lodge at 08:44, 09:14, 09:44, 09:59 then every 15 minutes at xx14, xx29, xx44 and xx59 minutes past each hour. There’s a bargain £5 ticket available from the driver for up to 5 people.
Buses back from Panorama Road leave at xx00, xx15, xx30, xx45 past each hour every 15 minutes until 18:15. Additional last buses back are at 18:40, 19:18 and 20:18.
Our Park & Ride site in Kings Park (by the Stadium) is clearly signposted off the A338 Wessex Way and costs just £5 all day. FREE Buses leave every 15 minutes from 0900 and you will be conveniently dropped right by Boscombe Pier.
Buses return from the same stop at Boscombe Pier every 15 minutes with the last bus at 1900.
This service will be running daily until 1st September 2021.
Please note: Kings Park Beach Park & Ride will not operate on Friday 6th August and Saturday 21st August due to home matches at the adjacent AFCB Stadium.
An innovative new ‘Park & Cycle’ scheme is now available at Kings Park giving visitors another great way of getting to the beach this summer.
A fleet of Beryl bikes has been installed at Kings Park car park and are ready for public hire. From Sunday 1st August to 5th September the first 20-minutes of bike hire journeys starting from Kings Park will be free – perfect for a leisurely ride to the beach.
Simply download the Beryl App to register and unlock a free bike, enjoy your ride and park in one of the marked “Beryl Bays” by the beach at the end of your journey.
Return bike journeys are charged at the usual rate of £1 to unlock, plus 5 pence per minute. A Beryl e-scooter could also be used as a fun method of transport on the return (unlock £1.50 plus 10 pence per minute). Alternatively the free ‘Park & Ride’ bus from Boscombe Pier can be used to return to your car at Kings Park.
