Poole Beaches

It's a scorcher! 🌞😎

Remember to stay hydrated, slap on the sun cream and swim between the red and yellow flags during your visit.

Beach huts are available to hire throughout the summer, with walk-ins welcome (next to Bournemouth Pier). A handy base to cool down with seating and storage just steps from the sea.

More details in the comments. Have a fantastic weekend! ⛱️
