Such a beautiful coastal promenade. Stretches from Sandbanks to Southbourne. Certain areas are best avoided during summertime. Depending on your visiting preferences. If you want to take in the scenery in a relaxed environment, then i suggest avoiding the 2 piers it has to offer. They are more for the busy party scene people. Sandbanks and Southbourne are much quieter noise wise, but can still be busy with people. But it's a definite must to go and walk along.
