Bournemouth is known for...

• Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 96-mile (155 km) World Heritage Site.
• With Poole to the west and Christchurch in the east, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation.
• The pleasant climate of southern England, with notably mild winters, not only lengthens the summer tourist season and attracts winter visitors but also favours Bournemouth as a retirement community.
• The beaches extend from Alum Chine to Hengistbury Head, and extensive residential areas with distinct local shopping centres lie behind the seafront.
• Inland sites of light industries have added to the economy of what is still predominantly a resort and residential town.
• It has also become one of England’s main conference and convention centres.
