Best Nightlife in Sandbanks

"The location of Urban Reef is the closest you can get to the lapping waves before having an actual picnic. It is my favourite within a small, but lovingly nurtured, group of restaurants known as the Urban Guild. All about nourishing, sharing and embracing, it’s the perfect setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the sunshine (all of which can be ordered off of the dedicated vegan menu) and they work with as much local and seasonal produce as they can, so you know it’s fresh."

"This restaurant’s idyllic beachfront setting means that diners here can enjoy a breathtaking vista over Boscombe Promenade and across Bournemouth Bay during their meal. Feel at one with the natural landscape as you tuck into one of Urban Reef’s delicious breakfasts. The sundeck is located right on the promenade, so diners truly feel a part of the natural landscape."

"Urban Reef is one unmissable place to eat, thanks to its stunning views of Bournemouth Bay, the Isle of Wight and beyond. Offering everything from light breakfasts and brunches through to romantic diners and takeaway pizza, it's got all you need under one roof."

"Right on the edge of the New Forest National Park and just outside the village of Lyndhurst sits The Oak Inn, a charming traditional family-friendly pub which is a popular stop for walkers, cyclists and explorers in the New Forest. Steeped in history, the building has been a pub for more than 150 years. During WW2 it was a popular meeting place for foreign and allied servicemen who were based at military sites in the area, and the pub’s low-beamed ceilings, bare floorboards and open fireplace adds to its historic feel."

"From the warmest evenings to the coldest nights, The Oak Inn pub in The New Forest will always welcome you with open arms – whether you’re a slider, rambler or regular customer. From the moment you walk through the door, the scent of the most delicious dishes will reach your nose. Indulge in great pub meals such as steaks, fish, roasties, kids’ meals and a fair selection of sweets and desserts too."

"Decked out with charming original features, from the low beamed ceilings to the cosy log burner and chalkboard menus, it's the stuff of sleepy Sunday dreams."

"The Green House Hotel’s Arbor Restaurant boasts two AA rosettes, and is the ideal destination for fine dining whether the focus is on the food, rather than excessive fuss. The sustainable, seasonal menu is crafted from as much local produce as possible: the result is outstanding dishes like slow-cooked lamb shank, smoked artichoke risotto and ‘seafood for the soul’. Don’t skip dessert – the salted caramel tart has a reputation for a reason."

"The Arbour restaurant at the Green House hotel in Bournemouth is a 2 AA Rosette award winning restaurant. Sunday lunch is served between 12.30 – 2.30pm. Choose from roast chicken, sirloin of beef or lamb shoulder, all served with garlic and thyme roast potatoes and gravy."

"17/06/2021: I went to the ‘Dancing Jug’ with a few family members and what a lovely evening we had!. Food was perfect, the atmosphere was great and the staff where amazing. Never been before so I had a lot of questions to ask and this lovely gentleman by the name of Cameron I was told, he was very engaged and extremely helpful!"

"Southbourne Beach can be a quieter option than Bournemouth’s main stretch, still offering Blue Flag status and golden sands. With everything you’d need for a family day out – food and drink, toilets, lifeguards and of course, plenty of ice cream – there’s miles of beach to play with and handy parking nearby. A zig-zag path leads up and down the cliffs, but there’s a clifftop lift if you don’t fancy the trek!"

"Accessible by cliff lift or a walk through the nature trail, Southbourne Beach is a twenty minute walk from Boscombe beach along the promenade. Head to Fisherman’s walk nature trail and wander through the wooded land featuring some of the coast’s resident wildlife and flora. If you don’t fancy the walk, Southbourne operates a cliff lift that will take you directly down to the beach in seconds."

"Water quality: excellentDogs: October-AprilCar park: Waterford Road (Sat nav: BH23 5DA) Pay and display or local amenity parking clock applies. Just a five-minute drive from the New Forest border, the shingle and sand beach at Highcliffe has numerous groynes and a moderate slope, flattening to shallow sandy flats that are exposed when the tide retreats. Behind the beach are cliffs and a shoreline promenade, which provides access to the town and to the coast road at the top of the cliff."
