Beaches, Days Out, Food & Drink

Location

Just eight minutes separate you from Middle Chine's sandy beach. Beyond that lie Jurassic Coast gems like Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Down the road are the bright lights and shimmering sands of Bournemouth. Surf, swim, sail or just enjoy the sand.

Children Welcome - and Fun Loving Adults too!

British childhoods are built from buckets and spades on Bournemouth's beaches. At Middle Chine Manor, you get the modern take, too – care of the games room, the home cinema and the WiFi. Monkeyworld and Go Ape! are handy for further family fun.

Middle Chine Beach

Just a short stroll away from the Manor is Middle Chine Beach, a sandy stretch of beach where you can enjoy a classic English beach from the comfort of your private beach hut.

Bournemouth Beaches

Bournemouth has seven miles of beautiful golden beaches, voted the best in the UK.  From Middle Chine you can walk to the Pier, where there is always plenty to see and do, or head to Sandbanks, for beautiful white stretches of sand.

Boscombe Surf Reef and Surf School

With its great surfing and stylish cafe/restaurant, Boscombe is a mecca for surf lovers of any ability.  Head over to the Surf School and hit the surf - wet suits and surf boards all included.

Studland Bay

Across the ferry from Sandbanks are the beautiful, unspoilt beaches of Studland Bay, all owned by the National Trust.  Corfe Castle is close by and well worth a visit.

Watersports

Every type of watersport is available close to the Manor: swimming, surfing, body boarding, kayaking, sailing, kite surfing - you can even take a trip in a high powered speed boat.
