Pet-Friendly Attractions in Bournemouth

The 1880 Victorian iron pier extending 305 metres into the bay, with leashed dogs welcome on the deck itself, including the pier-end seating areas. The indoor RockReef adventure attractions at the seaward end (high-wire course, climbing wall) admit only assistance dogs.

A 2 km Grade II-listed linear chain of three Victorian gardens running from the pier inland along the Bourne stream to Coy Pond. Dog-friendly on leash year-round, with the bandstand for summer concerts, mini-golf, the Pleasure Gardens café and ornamental planting beds along the way.

The chalk sea stacks at the eastern end of the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site, a 5 km return walk from Studland or 7 km from Swanage along the South West Coast Path. Dog-friendly throughout on a leash near the cliff edge; an easy half-day from Bournemouth via the m1 bus and Sandbanks chain ferry.
