Just outside Bournemouth to the west is Westbourne, a fascinating coastal village that is definitely worth exploring. With a thriving community spirit, Westbourne’s unique appeal has attracted an ever growing and varied number of cosmopolitan restaurants, bars, delicatessens, off-licences, cafés, food stores and independent shops. At the heart of the coastal village is the beautiful Westbourne arcade. Built during 1884 and 1885 by Henry Joy, it's described as a “well-preserved polychrome Gothic shopping arcade”. Today, it plays host to an eclectic mix of gift shops and cafés, plus the UK’s smallest cinema, ‘Bournemouth Colosseum’, with only 19 seats! Wander along the central streets and you’ll find an intriguing range of shops, cafés and restaurants offering temptations and finds that you won’t see elsewhere. Pause for a while between browsing for something to eat and drink - you’ll be spoilt for choice for possible locations! Westbourne has a distinct continental feel. Al fresco seating entices shoppers to stop and catch up with friends in the summer while warm, cosy venues welcome visitors in the colder months. Westbourne is well established and proud to boast more than 50 venues where visitors can dine, snack or drink, and discover food from across the globe such as britians best fish and chip shop Chez Fred or Renoufs award winning Cheese and Wine Bar. The many bars and pubs offer anything from cocktails to real ales, so there’s something for everyone in Westbourne. There’s also a speciality gin bar to try. As well as food, some venues provide fantastic entertainment including quiz nights, wine tasting evenings, live music, film nights and more. Wander away from Westbourne, and you’ll find a lovely walk from the centre through a wooded area leading to the beautiful tropical gardens, just a short walk away from the beach at Alum Chine. The gardens have become renowned for their award-winning facilities, striking landscape design and stunning views.

Westbourne is a 10-15 minute walk away. Upmarket Westbourne has a thriving shopping district, with independent fashion boutiques, thrift stores, cafes, restaurants and pubs on Poole and Seamoor roads, which are linked by a Victorian covered arcade. It’s also popular for quiet strolls, thanks to its chines, sandy beach, passing clifftop Alum Chine via a quaint suspension bridge.

Westbourne, located to the west of Bournemouth Town Centre on route to Poole is a well established, thriving shopping area for local residents and tourists. The large selection of boutique, individual shops gives Westbourne a distinct flavour combined with a friendly atmosphere and plenty of places to eat, drink and relax. Westbourne is a 15 minutes walk from Bournemouth town centre via The Triangle. The Victorian covered arcade links Poole Road and Seamoor Road with a variety of independent shops and places to eat. The Arcade is open all year (most shops do not open on Sunday).

Westbourne has a great beach that is usually quieter than Bournemouth and it is only a 20 minute walk from the centre. The "centre" of Westbourne goes in a circle with lots of nice bars and some really unique shops.
