Hengistbury Head Beach

Hengistbury Head Beach is a charming sand and pebble beach located on a historic headland in Bournemouth.

It is a place with a remarkable history dating back to the Stone Age, having been one of the first important ports in Britain around 100 BC.

The headland is stunning in its variety of landscapes - from heathland and grassland to wetlands and scenic coastline. It is home to more than 500 species of plants and 300 species of birds, making it a paradise for nature lovers.

A highlight for families is the train service to Mudeford Sandspit with its colorful beach huts and the option of a ferry ride.
