A spacious drive with friendly helpful owner. About a 5 min walk from Bournemouth's beautiful sandy Branksome Dene beach! A footpath (with steps) takes you straight down to the beach which has a shop, loos and sup/surf rental. Many people walk down steps with stand up paddle boards etc.
2 spaces available on standard bookings but up to 5 is possible in a group booking (if you want more than 2 spaces book both and get in touch in advance)
During summer weekends all parking spaces for Bournemouth beaches are gone. As an example, on Sunday 18th July 2021, the car parks were full by 8.15am. People often queued for parking for well over an hour (or just gave up). 1300 parking fines were issued in one day!!!!
The steps are not suitable for the frail. Buggies/beach carts can be walked the 12 min route down an access road to the beach. But if you have heavy kit you could drive it down (3 mins by road) and drop it at the beach and then just nip back up to park the car.
If you want a meal you can walk 10 mins along the beach to Branksome Chine (takeaway chips etc, restaurant and bar) or the other way to Alum Chine (restaurant). Alum Chine also has a great kids play area.
In just under 30 mins you can walk to Bournemouth Pier along a nice smooth promenade and then get to loads of shops, pubs, restaurants etc. But it is crazy busy there in peak season.
Note: On wet days official car park at Branksome Dene will likely have spaces (no point you paying here if you can park there).

Staying by the coast. Perfect location and space for the bigger vehicle. Safe and piece of mind.

Gordon was very accommodating, approachable and friendly. The drive is very spacious and we felt extremely comfortable leaving our car there for the day. It really is just a stone throw away from the beach. We will 100 percent use this space again, as it was so convenient and the owner was great!

The owner was very polite and friendly offering a drink and toilet facilities if needed before heading back on long journey.
Literally next to the driveway is the 5min footpath down to the beach so you couldn't ask for a better spot!
