Explore Poole
A maritime experience complete with luxurious golden sands, ancient history, and the backdrop of the Jurassic Coast awaits you.
Poole is an ideal choice for a relaxing winter or spring getaway. Explore the historic quayside, host to visiting tall ships, fishing vessels, and luxury motor yachts, before delving into the heart of the Old Town to discover more about this town’s links to its maritime past. Poole is also known for its links to pottery, and you can still pick up a beautiful unique pottery gift or paint a memento of your own on the Quay. Book a boat trip from the quay to discover the harbour’s unique islands and striking peninsula. Stop off on Brownsea Island, enjoy a fascinating day out, and maybe see the famous red squirrels!
The town of Poole is a great choice for an winter getaway. Treat your family to a memorable dining experience; book a table with a view at one of our many fabulous restaurants, cafes, bistros, or bars. The old high street and Quay with an eclectic mix of shops and cafes makes for a lovely afternoon. Wrap up warm and a hot mug of chocolate or a spiced latte are a welcome treat. Poole is home to some of the finest seafood in the South with restaurants boasting envious seascapes by day and cosy welcoming interiors by night.
Head to the coast for a relaxing break to recharge those batteries and find some of the finest golden-sand beaches. At this time of year, the sunsets across the water can be breath-taking and well worth heading out for an afternoon stroll. With so many things to do along the beautiful south coast throughout the year, it is little wonder our visitors return again and again. Come and make some unforgettable memories. Whether it is a short break, or if you're popping to the coast for the day, there is plenty for everyone.
There's plenty of events happening in Poole for 2026, from orchestral performances and powerhouse comedians to landmark festivals and free events. Find out the highlights of our year ahead.
