I don’t think you can. There are things being added to the beach amenities all of the time but unless they have been added very recently then no. If you check the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch Council website it will provide you with the latest list of amenities, it is a lovely beach but does get busy (not as busy as Bournemouth). It has lifeguard stations and marked safe areas to swim. Catering and parking are a bit limited so plan to arrive early. Studland beach, across the chain ferry, can be quieter but part of it is nudist and limited facilities, certainly no sun beds.
WE are visiting first weekend in December, for three nights. Where would be the best place to park. Staying in Brownsea Road thank you
A:
Agree with KW7157, that car park is great (it's wheelchair accessible if that matters to you) and perfect for access to the beach or the Rick Stein restaurant.
Hello, I’m looking to visit the beach on Saturday. We’ve not been Before. Can I have some advice on parking please? Does the beach have its own car park? How much is it ? Thank you!
A:
It does have its own car park We went between 9:30-10am and managed fine. Up to 6 hours parking was £13
