  • Sandbanks is a spit of golden sand that crosses the mouth of Poole harbour and continues all the way to Bournemouth, a distance of around five kilometers. Dubbed Britain’s Palm Beach, because of astronomical land prices, Sandbanks is well-served by upmarket hotels and restaurants.

    The Sandbanks Chain Ferry connects Sandbanks with Studland.
