Bournemouth feels like the distilled English seaside: seven miles of golden sand backed by pine-scented cliffs, a graceful Victorian pier, and a promenade that hums from dawn to dusk.

Bournemouth feels like the distilled English seaside: seven miles of golden sand backed by pine-scented cliffs, a graceful Victorian pier, and a promenade that hums from dawn to dusk.Sunshine lingers here more often than in most British towns, and the light lifts the pastel beach huts, manicured gardens, and the glass-fronted cafes that spill onto the esplanade.
