Set on a narrow peninsula between Poole Harbour and the open waters of Poole Bay, Sandbanks Beach is one of Dorset’s best-known seaside destinations and glamorous homes. Its wide stretch of soft golden sand, clear water and impressive coastal views make it a beautiful setting for swimming, relaxing and traditional family beach days.
The gently shelving shoreline is particularly popular with families, while seasonal RNLI lifeguards provide added reassurance during the main visitor season. Behind the beach, the promenade offers cafés, refreshment kiosks and useful facilities within easy reach of the sand.
Facilities include toilets and accessible toilets, showers, drinking water, a children’s play area, miniature golf and seasonal volleyball nets. Free electric barbecues are also available on a first-come, first-served basis.
