One of the ritziest beaches and places to live in the UK, Sandbanks really is a playground for the rich and famous with its magnificent array of beachfront holiday homes and apartments and is just minutes from the popular seaside resort of Bournemouth. Located in Poole in Dorset, Sandbanks Beach is known as the best beach in the UK and has been awarded the 'European Blue Flag' award for cleanliness and great water quality. The beach is very shallow allowing you to walk out into the sea for up to 200 yards.
As well as families with children and romantic couples, the beach is popular with windsurfers and those that like water sports. The beach has very good quality sand and the water is very clean and during the months between May and Sept there are Lifeguards on duty. Facilities along the beachfront include toilets (with full disabled facilities), showers and cafes and bars. Check out the self-catering holiday homes in Sandbanks listed below, many which are located on the beachfront with sea views and direct beach access. Rentals range from seafront apartments to large luxury holiday cottages ideal for groups or large families.
