Overview of Beach Buoys

Set behind electric gates on a private road in Sandbanks, the house sits between Sandbanks Beach and Poole Harbour, putting both the open coast and sheltered harbour waters within moments of the front door, find more cottages that sleep 8 or more in Poole here.

The property is arranged over four floors, giving a group of eight plenty of space and separation between the main living area and bedrooms. On the ground floor, the kitchen, dining room and lounge form one sociable open-plan space, with bi-fold doors opening onto the deck for warm-weather meals and evenings outdoors.

Four bedrooms are spread across the lower ground, first and second floors. Three have private en-suite facilities, while the remaining king bedroom sits beside the family bathroom. This makes Beach Buoys particularly well suited to several couples or families who value plenty of bathroom space.

The top-floor principal bedroom has another of the property's standout features: direct access to a large private roof terrace with loungers and glimpses towards the sea. A first-floor bedroom also has its own balcony.

Sandbanks itself changes the rhythm of the holiday. Mornings can begin with a beach walk or swim, Poole Harbour is ideal for paddleboarding and sailing and restaurants, cafés and a shop are within walking distance. The chain ferry also provides a quick route across to Studland and the Isle of Purbeck.

For groups searching for a large holiday home where beach life and watersports take priority, Beach Buoys has an outstanding location.

Location & Things to Do Near Beach Buoys

Beach Buoys sits on the Sandbanks peninsula between two very different stretches of water. Sandbanks Beach is directly across the road, while Poole Harbour is only around a minute away in the opposite direction. This makes the property particularly appealing to groups who want swimming, sailing, paddleboarding and beach days to form a major part of their holiday.

Sandbanks Beach offers a long stretch of golden sand leading towards Canford Cliffs and Bournemouth. Walking east gives groups an easy coastal route along Poole Bay, with cafés and beaches appearing at regular intervals. On the harbour side, the calmer waters are popular for sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

At the western end of the peninsula, the Sandbanks chain ferry crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Shell Bay. From there, Studland Bay offers around four miles of sandy shoreline backed by dunes and heathland. Walkers can continue towards Old Harry Rocks, where chalk stacks and cliffs provide some of the best views along this part of the Jurassic Coast.

Poole Quay is another good day out, particularly for harbour cruises and boat trips to Brownsea Island. The island is known for its red squirrels, woodland, heathland and lagoon, providing a completely different experience from the busy beaches of Sandbanks.

Bournemouth is also within easy reach for shopping, gardens, restaurants, the pier and another extensive sandy beach.

Back in Sandbanks, several cafés and restaurants are within walking distance, so the group can enjoy breakfast, lunch or an evening meal without needing to nominate a driver. With beach, harbour, watersports, coastal walks and the Isle of Purbeck all close at hand, Beach Buoys is exceptionally well placed for a varied Dorset coastal holiday.
