On the spit their is a restaurant (The Beachhouse $$$ not cheap) and a shop where you can resupply or treat yourself. The sea side of Mudeford Spit is a nicer beach, especially closer towards the Blackhouse end.

Dotted along thisbarea are also public toilet / shower blocks. The best shower block is the one near where is photo is taken (near the Blackhouse) if you want to go for a swim and wash off the salt.

A unique and beautiful sand spit which adjoins the ancient headland of Hengistbury Head and forms a natural barrier between Christchurch Harbour and the open sea. The area is designated a Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI).

Access by foot, bike or land train from Hengistbury Head car park. Access by passenger ferry from Mudeford Quay and Christchurch Quay.

There are 5 public toilet blocks, one with hot showers. Outside cold showers are also provided.

Horses are not permitted on the seashore between the Saturday preceding Easter Monday and the 30th September (both dates inclusive) in any year between 10am and 9pm.

Due to being so close to Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve, BBQs are not allowed at Mudeford Sandbank Beach. Open fires, fire pits and fire bowls are not permitted at any time on the beach, promenade, cliffs, cliff tops or woodland areas. The beach is surrounded by unique cliff habitats which are Sites of Special Scientific Interest and provide a home to many of the UK’s rare species of reptiles, birds and insects. Their dry nature means they are vulnerable and sparks from open fires can cause huge damage.
