BournemouthTourist Information

Bournemouth and the surrounding area is full of exciting and interesting places to go. There are museums, parks, world class beaches and fantastic shops, most within a short distance of BEST WESTERN The Connaught Hotel. Below are some of the best things to see and do:

Boscombe Surf Reef

The vibrant, cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth on the South Coast of England will soon be at the top of the lists of great places to surf in Europe.
The Boscombe Surf Reef is now open for business. Boscombe reef is 220m offshore and just to the East of Boscombe Pier. The reef is made up of 55 giant sandbags and is the size of a football pitch. The reef is not a wave machine, it doesn’t create waves from nothing but acts as a ramp, pushing existing waves upwards and shaping them into better quality surfing waves. The Reef is located just a 15 minute walk along the pormenade from Bournemouth Pier.
