Location & Things to Do Near Broad Reach

Its position makes it particularly appealing for families and groups wanting to enjoy the coast, with sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants, watersports and scenic walks all within easy reach.

Sandbanks Beach is one of the area's greatest attractions, with a long stretch of fine golden sand running east towards Bournemouth. Families can spend days swimming, relaxing on the beach or enjoying beach games, while the nearby promenade is ideal for walking and cycling. The peninsula also has cafés, restaurants and convenient local shops.

Poole Harbour, just across the road from Broad Reach, is a major centre for sailing and watersports. Its sheltered waters provide opportunities for paddleboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing and boating, with local watersports centres offering equipment hire and tuition. The harbour is also popular with anglers and wildlife enthusiasts.

A particularly memorable outing is the Sandbanks Ferry, which crosses the harbour entrance to Shell Bay on the Isle of Purbeck. From here, visitors can explore the beautiful sandy beaches of Studland Bay, the National Trust's protected heathland and the spectacular coastline towards Old Harry Rocks. The nearby South West Coast Path provides wonderful opportunities for longer coastal walks.

Brownsea Island, situated within Poole Harbour, is another excellent day out. Accessible by boat from Poole Quay during the operating season, the island is famous for its red squirrels, woodland walks and rich birdlife.

The historic town of Poole offers an attractive quayside, boat trips, shops and waterfront restaurants. Bournemouth is also nearby, with its famous pier, gardens, aquarium, entertainment venues and extensive sandy coastline.

For groups wanting to explore beyond the immediate seaside attractions, the Isle of Purbeck offers picturesque villages, dramatic coastal scenery and access to the Jurassic Coast. Corfe Castle, Swanage and the iconic chalk formations at Old Harry Rocks make rewarding day trips.
