About Bournemouth

Bournemouth is a south-coast English seaside resort built around seven miles of sandy beach, a Victorian pier and terraced clifftop gardens. It draws a mix of families, students and stag/hen parties, with a nightlife scene concentrated in the town centre and a large student population from two universities.
