Alum Chine & Westbourne

Alum Chine & Westbourne - Bournemouth.

Alum Chine is a distinct and popular family holiday location, with several hotels, between Bournemouth and Poole whilst still being a suburb of Bournemouth.

Alum Chine has superb sandy beaches, a very popular children's playground right next to the beach and a beach shop. A peaceful stroll through the exotic woodlands of the Chine brings you to the shopping centre, pubs and restaurants at Westbourne.

Whilst Westbourne is busy, Alum Chine hotels offer a more peaceful and relaxing holiday environment than those in Bournemouth centre, as you would expect.

Yet everything Bournemouth is famous for is not far away.

The walk along the Promenade underneath the cliffs or along the beach to Bournemouth Pier is always pleasant.

An alternative walk is via the zig-zag paths or the cliff lift, and to walk along the clifftop taking in the magnificent vista across Poole Bay.

The land train runs along the Promenade, from close by the bus terminus at the foot of the Chine, to Bournemouth Pier and to Boscombe Pier beyond. Open top buses will take you into Bournemouth and Poole - so let the breeze run through your hair!

Just a short walk along the Promenade in the direction of Poole is Branksome Chine offering yet more sea, sand and sunshine.
