Bournemouth has been voted the best seaside town in the UK on multiple occasions over the years, and is my personal favourite seaside resort in England - I used to come here every year as a kid, and although I've not been back recently, it's packed full of nostalgia and some pretty cool attractions for new visitors! In this video, I attempt to convince you that Bournemouth is the BEST seaside town in the UK! But if you don't agree, tell me your favourite down in the comments below!

Is Skegness the WORST seaside town in the UK? 👉 ua-cam.com/video/TeIChKEU5yI/v-deo.html
Are you joking😂😂😂. We live a few miles down the road never go there. You can’t move on the beach and the crime numbers are high. Far better beaches and countryside at studland and shell bay.
Went a few days ago, parked for 6 hours for a tenner, ate in town, relaxed on the beach near the Pier. I actually like having a lot of people around as it gives me confidence going in to the water with lots of people around and life guards. The more lively it is, the better.
Those places aren't seaside towns though!
It's not a park in the centre of town (parks have gates and are locked at night usually). They are gardens!
Love Bornemouth, I grew up in London and would go there in the summer, good times. I used to go Brighton and Southend-on-Sea too. I'd get more excited about going to these places than my international holidays 😂.
Sounds great!
I wouldn’t recommend Southend-on-Sea these days. It’s become a very rough, unsafe area.
No, I think Weymouth is the best or maybe Blackpool at a push
Weymouth sucks, and Blackpool is even worse. You can keep your dirty and shitty rocky beaches.
Bournemouth is fantastic, Weymouth also is a great seaside town, my favourite has to be st Ives in Cornwall also Newquay is a magnificent place.
To be fair mate, you obviously have no idea of the threat to freedom (Canadian truckers) that a cashless society presents. I suggest you educate yourself and forsake the convenience of your card.
Born in Bournemouth in the 70s, emigrated to Australia in the 90s, the decline of the town is Stark and saddening.
As a Yorkshire lass I think anywhere along the Yorkshire Coast is the best especially Whitby, Saltburn and Scarborough for large seaside towns. As well as the much smaller Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes and Runswick Bay. They are all worth a visit
Don’t forget Redcar 😊
Eww Yorkshire sucks ass.
Come South for the weather.
For about 7 or 8 summers in a row when I was a kid we used to travel down from Cumbria to Bournemouth for a 2 week holiday. Loved it there, fantastic beach. We tended to be closer to Poole & get a beach hut to use. Great to see that the crazy golf is still in the park, I used to play on there with my grandad, it was a lot of fun. Remember the park/gardens well, the seafront near the pier is very different from when I was last there. I don't think the Oceanarium was open & I see that is 25 years that it has been there. Great to reminisce, thanks for the video.
Dodgy city day by day,full of homeless people and infractionality going up!Plus the weather is crap ...if you catch 2-4 sunny days a year ,proper ones for the beach ,you are blessed by GOD!
1:55 Glad you think so Kev! I’m mates with someone who’s mother owns the company, so I’ll pass that on!
It was the best seaside town until it was engulfed by cultural enrichment, diversity, equity, inclusion, out-of-control immigration, hotels shut to the public and filled with illegals, and the poverty industry sucking in druggies and tramps from all across the country (and not just in Boscombe). Bournemouth is now a shabby, vandalised, dystopian landscape of criminality, especially the gangland area of Old Christchurch Road and Horseshoe Common. The sea itself is nice, though.
I lived in Bournemoth for 5 years all the homeless that I’ve seen are English the one who does drugs are English who steals from shops are English… without immigrants you would die from hunger.
I agree!! Loved Bournemouth for the 25 yrs I have lived in Dorset. But since the pandemic it’s gone downhill. Unbelievably Poole Quay is becoming the place to be.(I know I suffered every summer working there. 😂
I also agree.went there for a hot Bank Holiday 3 years ago.i thought I was in a diffrent country on entering the beach,huge tents and gazeebos up everywhere and loud music being blasted out of um and wherever you went on the beach the stink of dope was everywhere.after an hour we could no longer stand the ignorance of certain people and we moved off.very sad as bournemouth was a beautiful town.😢😢
Absolute gem. Great holiday destination if you don't want to leave the country. I drove 2.5 hours each way and visited a few days ago with my wife and son, parked for 6 hours for a tenner, ate in town, took loads of pics with the family in the park, relaxed on the beach near the Pier under a umbrella. I actually like having a lot of people around as it gives me confidence going in to the water with lots of people around and life guards. The more lively it is, the better. The fact it is a sand beach is a bonus.
Bournemouth was a beautiful place to live before all the migrants.
The sense of community has been destroyed. We now have a stabbing every other day .
Tony Blair should be locked up for what hes done.
Such a shame.
Beleave it or not the stream is actually the River Bourne.
I used to race sticks down there on my way to go night fishing on the pier.
The flyover is much better than the road that was there before.
Shithole.i live in Fremantle WA now that is a real seaside town.bournemouth,yeah right mate
Go to New Brighton, opposite Liverpool - only found it last year & it's lovely
Good morning both! I've only ever been to Bournemouth once and never saw theseaside attractions, I went fossil instead from the cliffs, wot a difference to Gt. Yarmouth! Obviously 'in season' as it were, but it looks a very 'genteel ' affair, surrounded by some delightful (expensive) villages. Your mention of the Harry Ramsden restaurant in your Yarmouth film, got me drawn to this location, there used to be one in the middle of London, but I've never been to either (assuming the London H.R. is still operating) hHope youise twose had a great time! The wind baffle on your mic makes such a difference to your narration (which is superb!) VBW x
Love the place ❤️
I am from Bournemouth and live in Bournemouth 😁😁😁😁 and I bet you can hear the air show
Is there a lot of year-round nearby unskilled work, and are council one bed flats affordable? Thank you.
I hope, if you’re ever in Yorkshire, you try Scarborough. It’s ways been my favourite seaside town. Love the cliff lift and the miniature railway
Going to be in Bournemouth at the end of October. What's still open? Or does a lot shut down because of the time of year? Looking forward to the visit. Looks like a lovely place.
I live in Bournemouth, it never really shuts down as the town is far more than just a resort but it will certainly be a lot quieter in late October.
If you tell me what you enjoy doing I'll try and give you a few recommendations.
love the video, needed a warning for the young beardless kevin though lol
Looks awesome there
When you do Flamgh, Filyingo Land, look at Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scaborough, Filey, Bridlington as places to visit for your seaside town videos
i live in scarbourough, im going to be honest since all we have now is and open air theatre, a water shoot and miniture railway since kinderland is long gone, the arcades are the only thing we have left other than that its a bit crap, and i live here so what does that tell you, dont stop coming here because of me im just saying in my opinion, its not great we drive a hole day whorth of driving away to go on holiday so..........yeh, again though still come here i just live less than twenty minutes from the beach so i just have alot of history with my family but thats changed now so yeh, we do still have armed forces day once a year and a naval warfare in a local park near the beach that happens every sommer so thats good i enjoy that
Agree with u there I love Bournemouth my favourite place ever. I've got family that live down there my brother and his wife . Even on a cold day it's still nice to walk around. Not sure if they still have the birds at the top
The birds are still here and have a brand new enclosure
@ChrispoWittla awww that's good I like looking at them I will be going there again on my next visit
You can’t be serious!!!! Bournemouth has sadly gone downhill from its hay days of the 60s 70s n 80s. Way too touristy and no room on small beaches especially at high tide. Avon beech in Christchurch is so much better and the town has more character too
I absolutely love Bournemouth. Used to go every year as a kid (well, Poole, but visited Bournemouth). That park brings back so much nostalgia. Did they still have the little coloured jars with candles in that made up different objects?
they stopped that sometime in the 2000s sadly, that was fun!
@@sillysoz Oh no! 😢
Not a park, it’s a garden .
Omg we just came back from a weekend there and it was quite literally hell on earth!!! A beautiful part of the world, utterly destroyed by “modernity!!!” NEVER again!!!
All I’ve read about Bournemouth are the rapes and sexual assaults that have been happening in the sea and beach area the last few months, don’t sound like a safe place to go
I live in Bournemouth, I've not really heard of that but it does happen but it's not that common, mainly drug crimes
Is there plenty of year round unskilled work nearby and are one bed council flats affordable? Thank you.@@Beetlejooce01
Good vid this Kev , I’m from Plymouth and the wife is from Poole so we go up a couple times a year, we normally go to Alum Chine just a little further down towards Poole, I will definitely next visit take my autistic twins on that zip line tho , I’ll walk up from Alum , cheers Kev
There are a lot of issues in Bournemouth around crime, drug problems and commercial decline, not the place it used to be. The councils' decision to pedestrianise massive areas has hampered retail and access
Bournemouth like most places is over run was legal immigrants who trash the place every summer it’s disgusting don’t bother going it’s horrible
summer or winter Bournemouth is great busy all year never shuts down like other resorts immaculate beaches hard to beat
weston is quite nice lots to do
My hometown. Born there in 1964 and lived there until 2009 when I moved to North Wales. Still have not returned since then, but have a holiday booked there in March 2025.
You will hate the place , it’s changed a lot the last 15 years , more so the last 5 years.
Check who owns the hotel , make sure you be able to have English food .
Whitby and Scarborough are pretty nice.
Cleethorpes is my local. It's had a facelift in recent years and its not so bad but it's connected to Grimsby so it can never be S tier.
I always had fond memories of visiting Newquay in Wales as a kid, watching the dolphins in the bay. No idea what it's like 25+ years later.
As others have said, Jaywick looks to be the worst by a mile. Never been, I don't fancy being stabbed in the arcade.
Beautiful best beach in south of London apart from Cornwall x
‘Lived in Bomo for 25 years. A lot of it has changed. That fish & chip cost is insane! Am not sure if I miss it? There is good and bad.
West Midlands Doesnt have monkey's recently went back in August.
Thanks Kevin for a walk down memory lane, a great pity the dept stores are now closed down, beales, house of fraser, ect
As a midlands dweller my favourite beachside place to visit is Teignmouth in Devon, I have many fond memories of caravanning with the folks down there, really nice place especially by the harbour bit by the estuary, recommend it for you to visit Kev :D
I am so glad we are ok 👍 now I fully regret the way I treated you 3 years ago so badly you were so kind to me I will always make up to you I was in a bad place with my autism and mental health at the time but it no excuse the way i treat you xxx xxx I am huge fan of your always have been xxxx you are one of my favourite UA-camrs xx
Bournemouth is the best ❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great videos man, really enjoying them. You should carry cash, I’m starting to use it more don’t wanna lose it
❤ Bournemouth ❤
Didn’t know the lift was repaired after collapsing a few years ago.
Hi!... here again... love your content!!
thnx for sharing this beautiful place,...
I love Bridlington but Bournemouth is also nice
The best seaside town? 🤣🤣🤣 I was wondering how shit are the others?
Kev, come to Cleethorpes, it’s rubbish!
Always recharge your scooter even after a short run, it's for the best
my friend dad owns the acruime its crazy
Ho ho ho (re the review of Skegness) my ex & his wife recently moved from their 25+ years in a 6th floor London flat, to a bungalow in Skegness !! I hope they fit in there...
I've never been to Bournemouth, but I've never heard anything bad about it... However, my daughter is my carer, I'm disabled now and use a manual wheelchair - which my daughter pushes for me, and so as neither of us drives, I'd really need to know which seaside (or other) resorts are wheelchair / disabled accessable and able to be reached by public transport and / or disability accessable taxi cabs. 🤔😮🤔🧡🧡🖖
Well it’s not Bournemouth!
You should come and visit Weston-super-Mare/Burnham or Minehead then Kev...
It's on the to do list!
My mum brought me to Bournemouth each year all my life. Since her passing I still come to Bournemouth for a long weekend or Red Arrows. But yes the change is quite remarkable. Especially when they built the bicycle centre. I would peek inside the building site but still remember the hotel that stood there. First hotel I remember is Mon Ami St Michael's Rd.
what's the bicycle centre? I live in Bmth, and not sure what you mean.
the bourne stream ( bournemouth )
It's shit here now
Try Paignton as a bad one.
Clacton-on-Sea was also rated worst seaside town, its a lot smaller than Skegness and Bournemouth
It's on my to do list!
Another vote for Scarborough
By fqr the best.
Used to be
Are you going to Great Yarmouth?
happy land was in the three advert
Looks okay to me.
Thank you lovely video ❤
Where did you stay?
Not anymore
Hey saw you on anglia news last night xx
That's cool! I didn't know what channels I would end up on and when!
Wait? When did you have to pay to go on Bournemouth pier?
it's only really during summer months it's not all year round
Not much on there , I know 20 odd years ago to go on a boat trip , you paid for boat trip and pier.
Everything you have to pay for.
Went to Eastbourne Pier don’t have to pay , on their pier .
Harry Ramsden is good. Over 60’s get it cheaper and good deal .
There is a parking near beach , more expensive and gets busy very quickly on a hot day.
Lymington is nearer to go on the boat to IOW.
Not cheap by car .
What ?? Hastings is so much nicer than Bournemouth, in fact it's the hub of the universe ! 🤣🤣
Come during the winter too. We have a temporary bar/outdoor ice skating rink that goes up in the gardens ❤ 🧊
Sounds great!
I live in Bournemouth and don’t like it. I’m not a beach fan so that part doesn’t interest me. The town is full of druggies openly using. The Asda car park smells like an sewer as people openly use it as a toilet. I suppose it’s the same in much of the UK now. The traffic is terrible too. One of the most congested places in the UK.
I live in Bournemouth and I most agree but it's not that bad there are worse places
You boring person 😂
Is there a lot of nearby unskilled work, and are council one bed flats affordable? Thank you?
@@jamescokl3 like I said there are worse places in the uk, london for example outshines your example. thank you
@@jamescokl3 there is a lot of unskilled work but there is no chance of a council flat! It’s nearly impossible to get one the waiting list. There are private flats of course. They’re in high demand and you’re talking about £600+ pcm for a studio.
Pembrokeshire in West Wales has a dozen beaches that beat Bournemouth..
bournemouth is the most tinpot holiday resort in uk
as someone unfortunate enough to live in dorset, bournemouth is bleak and miserable any time outside of summer or christmas haha
LOL hard life for snowflakes these days forced to live in Dorset go try living up North or in one of the big cities than you will dream of coming back
I took the river ferry from Tuckton to Mudeford last week and walked back over Hengistbury, stopped at a bar on the Prom for lunch, about 3 weeks ago I got the Breezer to Studland, walked past Old Harry's and over to Swanage, Fish n Chips, couple of beers and caught the ferry to Poole.
I wouldn't live anywhere else and if you think this is bleak you should try growing up in a Midlands new town. Haha
. Bournemouth is the best
Bournemouth is brilliant 🎉🎉🎉
It's only bleak for the miserable old boomers moaning at everything. Please take your hate and move. Please.
