Bournemouth Pier stands as a historic testament to the town’s Victorian-era origins as a seaside resort. While there has been a pier at Bournemouth since 1856, the structure that graces the shoreline today, stretching over 304 metres, was completed in the early 20th century. It remains the central focus of the beachfront, a grand and enduring symbol of traditional British coastal leisure. Today, the pier is all about action and great views. You can fuel up with a coffee and a pasty at the entrance before heading straight for the award-winning RockReef, an indoor adventure playground where you can tackle climbing walls or take a leap of faith. For the biggest rush, launch off the tower on the PierZip, the world's first pier-to-shore zip wire, soaring right over the waves. After all that, settle in at the Key West Bar & Restaurant at the pier's end. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with fantastic food, live music, and those unbeatable panoramic sea views.

Bournemouth, with its sandy beaches, is perfect for unwinding, and a visit to the delightful Oceana Day Spa naturally follows as the next step to shed the stress of daily life. Let the expert hands of dedicated professionals pamper you with a range of treatments including full body massages, pedicures, various facial treatments, as well as makeup and nail services.

For a quick and effortless bird’s-eye view of the seafront, take a spin on the Bournemouth Observation Wheel. Located right at Pier Approach, this 50-metre-tall wheel offers a relaxed 10-minute ride in enclosed, all-weather gondolas. Your three or four gentle rotations provide fantastic 360-degree panoramas, perfect for looking down the length of the historic pier and out across the sea. The wheel has lost its retro colour scheme after a full revamp in 2024, now looking sleek and modern. It’s a simple, classic way to see the bay from a new perspective.

Home to the most important treasures of the Nature Isle, Morne Trois Pitons covers an area of nearly 7000 hectares, and is only a 20-minute drive from Roseau. It is dotted by emblematic sights such as the Emerald Pool, the twin cascades of Trafalgar Falls, and the Titou Gorge, where scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed. The park exemplifies the amazing natural diversity of Dominica and is a central area for the island's volcanic activities, the highlight of which is Boiling Lake — a fumarole that heats up to 90 °C.
