Bournemouth is the ideal place for families. Kids just love the beautiful sandy beach and clean clear water. Bournemouth is proud of it’s blue flag beaches and Kidzone scheme where lost children are quickly united with their families. Come and join in the fun games on the beach in the summer months.

Each summer the Kids fun festival is held with children’s entertainers guaranteed to put a smile on the children’s faces.

The gardens and beach are alive with children’s laughter.

On Wednesday nights during July and August the tradition of lighting thousands of candles transforms the gardens into a magical wonderland.

For those unfamiliar with the Kidzone scheme it is very simple to use. You just collect your free wristband from the seafront and then sit between the Kidzone markers. The wristband assists the seafront staff to spot and relocate children who have wandered away.
