Poole is home to Europe's largest natural harbour, a haven for wildlife, sailing and other water sports.
Poole has three miles of sandy beach backed by woodland walkways including Sandbanks, a popular Blue Flag beach . The harbour itself offers a wealth of water sports activities including boat trips from Poole Quay around the harbour, to Brownsea Island and out to the Jurassic Coast. Situated in the Old Town, just off Poole Quay the Museum tells the story of the town from a 295BC long boat through its history as a trading centre in the 17th and 18th centuries. There is also a large collection of Poole pottery.
Poole is perfect for enjoying island adventures, waterside alfresco dining and free family events throughout the year.
