Situated on the sandbank of Hengistbury head, the Beach House has stunning panoramic views across Christchurch harbour. I love visiting this café and head there regularly if I feel like treating myself to a day out at Mudeford Quay (awesome crabbing here) or Mudeford beach topped off with some lovely food. You can only get there by boat, land train or foot which all adds to the excitement!

Drinks & Nightlife
Canvas is a beautiful bar and lounge with an extensive cocktail menu (my favourite cocktail here is the classic old fashioned), friendly experienced bar staff, stunning décor and world class live music acts playing on most Friday nights. Saturday nights are almost always free entry with DJs playing until late and the clientele is a bit older for a classy experience (mostly over 25). See if you can find their secret bar on the third floor to add to the experience!

Gorgeous whisky bar with an amazing atmosphere. Cocktails a specialty, just tell the bartender what you like and they'll make you something unique that you'll love! You can always guarantee there'll be great live music here or a DJ that is playing music to get everyone dancing. Be sure to try their homemade Aces liquors whilst you're there and check out the JD Lounge

Camel seems to open when everything else shuts - a true late night bar / club serving up drinks and shisha pipes until very very late (or early depending on whether you like to see the sun rise before heading home!) See if you can have a go on their bongo drums if you're feeling adventurous.

A stunning cocktail bar with live music every weekend from only the best local bands. My favourite cocktail here is the bourbon smash or espresso martini, but the bartenders will make you anything you like. Top tip: they do half price cocktails between 5-7pm every day! There's also a restaurant here which serves great food.

Sightseeing
Bournemouth pier offers a stunning view point out onto the sea and surrounding areas. Whilst you're at the end of the pier, why not grab a drink in the lovely Key West or jump on the zipline? I did it last year and it was amazing fun!

Hengistbury Head is a great place to bring the whole family. Take the land train for gentle and easy access to Mudeford Sand spit, then enjoy the view with a cup of tea and a slice of cake, or something more substantial in one of the cafes.
If adventure is more your thing, you could take a course with the Outdoor Education Centre or enjoy the spectacular views, earned with a little effort, from the top of Warren Hill.

Brownsea Island is the largest of the islands in Poole Harbour in the county of Dorset and is owned by the National Trust. It's dramatically located in Poole Harbour, with spectacular views across to the Purbeck Hills. Thriving natural habitats create a unique haven for wildlife, such as the rare red squirrel! The perfect day's adventure - this island wildlife sanctuary is easy to get to but feels like another world from the moment you step ashore.

Located at the end of the pier, rock reef is a complex featuring a rock-climbing wall, ropes course, zip line & cave-themed tunnels with ball pits. It also has the FIRST Pier to shore Zip Wire experience in the world with a launch tower towering above the sea giving an exhilarating “zip surf” over the waves to the beach. I did this last year and it was really fun!
