Spring is approaching and after a long winter, people are excited to begin planning a warm weather holiday. And one coastal destination has proven to be extremely popular. According to an independent cottage, the Dorset pool was a two-year spring escape destination.
Poole has witnessed an overall increase of 494% in inquiries between 2022 and 2024 during spring break, making it the most popular spring break destination in recent years. Home to Europe's largest natural port, Pool originally built a reputation as a commercial fishing port and shipbuilding centre. Now it is a popular resort town with a gorgeous, historic old town filled with Georgian homes and a bustling Quayside that visitors love to explore.
It also has one of the best beaches in the UK. Sandbanks Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag Award 36 times and was named the world's most sustainable beach at the Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards 2024.
The pool is also the gateway to the wider UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the Jurassic Coast
For those looking to discover the wider Dorset coastline, the pool is the gateway to the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jurassic Coast.
To explore the Jurassic coastline, visitors can simply board a boat from Pool Harbor to see some of the coast's most famous landmarks.
One of the most incredible places to visit is Brown Sea Island. This is a nature reserve filled with wild wildlife, including the increasingly rare red squirrel.
Not only squirrels, but Brownsea also have a variety of birds, including Dunlin, Kingfisher, Ordinary, Sandwich Tern, and Oyster Catcher.
Free trails will help you explore the island. With its natural playgrounds and fantastic picnic spots, it makes the perfect place for your family to have a fun day.
