Food & Drinks
This is our favourite place to go for a quiet drink. It is very near the sea but it never seems to be overly busy. They have a wonderful round bar with fantastic staff. Great for a cocktail or prosecco!
Their food is really good too but I would recommend booking in advance for a table.

This is a brilliant bar for cocktails. They also have a Japanese restaurant next to them. So you can either have some drinks and go next door for a sit down meal or you can get some "nibbles" to enjoy whilst you drink.

Westbourne has a great beach that is usually quieter than Bournemouth and it is only a 20 minute walk from the centre.
The "centre" of Westbourne goes in a circle with lots of nice bars and some really unique shops.

Sightseeing
If you have a car and like walking then I would highly recommend going for a walk here.
You can either walk around by the sea for 20 minutes or so and come out at a beautiful beach lined by beach huts or you can walk up the hill and have fantastic views of both the harbour and the sea.
