Bournemouth Gay friendly Hotels & Guesthouses / Dorset

Bournemouth - The Sunshine Coast And it is certainly a good description, constantly touted by local radio. There is so much more to see and do than you would think here. But do not expect the same sort of experience as you will have in Brighton or Blackpool. This is almost a forgotten sun haven on our very own coastline. Forget family holidays and rest homes for the elderly. While these are still in evidence, the resort has come a long way in the past few years. Boasting beautiful European Blue Flag sandy beaches, in close proximity to The New Forest and it's sleepy villages, and close to attractions such a Lulworth Cove, Monkey World (remember Anneka Rice!), Beulieu, the historic town of Christchurch, the Poole potteries and restaurants of Poole harbour as well as Brownsea Island, close to Southampton and Lymington to take the ferry to the Isle of Wight, you are not short of places to visit or things to do. The seafront at Bournemouth has undergone many changes in recent years, now boasting an Imax cinema, International Conference Centre hosting regular major star performances and concerts, pretty gardens that wind down to the sea and many bars and cafes to rest in along the way. Much of this has been brought about by the University and many language schools that have grown up, bringing a more youthful and European feel to the town Centre. For gay life, do not expect anything amazing, as the town settles into the local and student scene from September to March, but the sunshine from Easter to the end of summer attracts many tourists. The beautiful beaches along Studland Bay which are reached by a small ferry, are not to be missed, and you have the option of baring all to the world along the nudist beach. At night you have the option of a few bars and a club. The main gay venue is the The Exchange which is a popular music bar, and can get very cramped with it's narrow layout, OK if you like being squashed against lots of men. '2930 The Triangle' is the only club in town, having been refurbished this offers regular cabaret and a dark dancefloor area playing the type of music you would expect. You also have the choice of The Bakers Arms (gay friendly) if you fancy cosy pub life. The Branksome is a really trendy place to be, with its friendly bar staff offering a warm welcome to all. For those requiring some extra heat then you have the The Spa and The SaunaBar are men only steam and sauna houses. While perusing the shops in town try Legends Cafe Bar for a friendly lunch or something more substantial in the evening, offering a varied menu and pleasant surroundings close to the Gardens. Accommodation, as you would expect, is varied and plentiful, from the five star Carlton or Royal Bath to many B&B's close to the town centre. In all Bournemouth is a very pleasant surprise made infinitely more appealing when the sun shines. I would recommend you check the weather forecast before you go, as no seaside resort is as much fun in the rain. When the sun shines however, which is considerably more often than in Blackpool, and no pebbles like Brighton, shut your eyes, slap on the sun block and you will feel that you are more South of France than South of the UK. Look for the red clad Beach /Life Guards who add a little Baywatch to Britain. With so may things to do around and about in the Dorset area, even a cloudy day can be filled. © UK Gay Hotel and Travel Guide. March 2019. Bourne Free is Bournemouth's LGBT Pride Festival.
