Wonderful time even with tons of other beach goers on the beach tillplenty of space to spread out. There was always staff on hand keeping not only the beach but also the promenade and facilities clean. Well done all

2/5 - Disappointing

Sad to see a great coastal town over developed with no theme, no attention to detail or authenticity. Poole morning ch nicer for summers day out!

4/5 - Good
