Bournemouth stretches along seven miles of golden Dorset coastline, its Victorian pier and clifftop gardens a legacy of its 19th-century transformation from quiet seaside hamlet into England's premier resort town. Salt air and pine-scented chines set the backdrop for a lively café scene, with cafes tucked along the seafront and town centre. When it's time for a proper meal, the town's restaurants serve everything from fresh Dorset seafood to international fare just steps from the sand.
