Bournemouth, on the South Coast of England, is one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations and seaside holiday resorts, attracting thousands of visitors each year from all over the UK and beyond.

Famous for its 12 kilometres of sandy beaches, beautiful parks and gardens and cosmopolitan atmosphere, Bournemouth blends a traditional British seaside resort with a busy and thriving town.

Bournemouth is situated on the south coast of England and is less than two hours from London. With a population of just over 163,000, it is large enough to have all the facilities of a big town but small enough that you never feel lost.

It has some of the best beaches in the UK and has won numerous prestigious awards including the European Blue Flag Awards, which are recognised internationally as a sign of clean, well looked after beaches.

In the evenings, the town comes alive with a heady mix of bars, nightclubs, restaurants, live music and concerts, making Bournemouth one of the UK’s top destinations for party weekends, international students and salsa lovers!
