About This Place

Hengistbury Head is a relatively unspoilt and south-facing pebble beach, with imposing clay and ironstone cliffs. At the less developed end is Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve, which separates Poole Bay and Christchurch Bay. --> Plenty of parking as well as toilets and a cafe.

💡 Our Take

Hengistbury Head Beach in Bournemouth is a fantastic dog-friendly escape! We at DogParkUK highly recommend this beach, as your furry pals are welcome ALL year round! The sand is perfect for digging and playing. Parking is available, though can get busy in summer. Bring your own supplies, as immediate facilities are limited. The calm waters near the shore are great for paddling, but always supervise your dog! This beach is excellent for energetic dogs who need a good run. For puppies, keep them close due to the open space. Remember to bring fresh water, as the sea is salty! Have fun!
