I always used to enjoy my trips down there - something for everyone - but on my last couple of visits, about 10 years ago, it did seem to be going downhill.

Went there when I was a kid back in the 1960s.
The only thing I remember was how far the tide went out, it was a long long way. Furthest I've seen on an English beach. |

Nice one.
I get the feeling Boscombe and Bournemouth itself could be full of kebab houses and nasty little take away joints |

went there June 2010
looked like it's slightly more upmarket than my previous visit 10 years before, beach looked like it could have been in one of Spains better resorts - lovely facilities , showers all along the beach - life guards a'la baywatch ,lovely sand and the sea for whatever reason is a nicer green colour compared to the east coast greyish tones . mind you it was a sunny, hot week |

Bournmouth has and seems to be for the older person (retired - lost the will to live section of society) - Torquay seeems 'slightly' better - even Weymouth isn't as bad as it used to be. imo of course.

About a dozen of us are off to New Milton in October, I'm sure that's not too far away because my missus is telling everybody that we are off to Bournemouth for a week.
