Dog-Friendly Holidays Near Bournemouth
Nestled in the county of Dorset, Bournemouth has been a popular holiday destination since the end of the 18th century and it’s easy to understand why. From the beauty of the New Forest to the gorgeous beaches, there’s so much to see.
The gorgeous seaside at Branksome Dene, Sandbanks, and Hengistbury Head offers postcard-perfect views and allows dogs year round. Meanwhile, the harbour is fantastic to take a stroll around and you’re sure to find plenty of great dog-friendly places to eat close by. The Grasshopper is one of our favourite picks, serving hearty traditional British staples. We also love Lazy Jacks restaurant and bar which is found in the opulent marina.
Once you’ve refuelled, you can head up the Bournemouth Coast Path for some unforgettable views. Alternatively, for a more peaceful jaunt along the sand, visit the idyllic Hengistbury Head. The surrounding grassy heathland provides stunning views of Bournemouth Bay, the local nature reserve, and even The Isle of Wight.
Moving further afield, The National Trusts Brownsea island isn't far, and there are plenty of dog-friendly boat trips that run from nearby Poole. You can also explore the world-famous Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, just over half an hour out of Bournemouth.
