Steeped in History
It’s hard to imagine that the Sandbanks of today had such humble beginnings as an uninhabited peninsula of sand crossing the mouth of Poole Harbour on the English Channel. It is now internationally known as one of the most covetted place to live and visit in the world.
Sandbanks has gained a reputation as a sun-soaked millionaire’s playground and the 3rd most expensive place to live in the world. Property in Sandbanks sell for £millions but with unique, stunning scenery, access to watersports facilities and world-renowned yacht clubs it’s not hard to see why. It also now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and holidaymakers every year who are looking to experience the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
Just 100 years ago in the late Victorian era, this relatively inoquous sandy wasteland was cut off from the mainland and unrecognisable from the famous coastal holiday resort of today.
Post First World War, a road was built to connect the then named “Parkstone-on-Sea” to the mainland and holidaymakers began to flock to the area.
It wasn’t until the wit and guile of local estate agents in the 1990’s, namely Rumsey & Rumsey being one of particular note, who began to see real market opportunity in developing Sandbanks in to what is now commonly referred to as “Britain’s Palm Beach”.

A lovely beach that is clean right down to the sand. The toilets at Sandbanks are well maintained and there is a nice cafe plus a takeaway shop if you don’t feel like cooking. The parking is also convenient with pay-by-app in use here.

Fabulous beach at Sandbanks, beautiful to look at and great facilities. Car park next to beach entrance and separate beach for dogs, even a dog wash in the car park. Everything lovely and clean.

One of the most enchanting aspects of Sandbanks, UK, is the incredible sunrises and sunsets that paint the sky with breathtaking colors. Witnessing the morning sun rise over the serene horizon, casting a golden glow over the tranquil waters, is truly a magical experience. It’s as if the world awakens with a burst of warmth and beauty.

Very nice beach and lot quieter than Bournemouth crowded beach. Its sandy and clean. There are few benches to sit down. Showers are nearby but no cafes or shops. It is ideal for a family day out on a sunny day. You can bring your food and chairs as the car park is only a couple of minutes walk. Would highly recommend 👌

Such an amazing place. Sandy beach and extremely clean. You can take dogs on the beach on a lead too. You can paddle in the shallow part. Sandbanks Beach is great for all the family.

Great waves. Walking barefoot on the smoothe sandy beach and water washing over your toes is just the perfect beach to take hole family. Weather was slightly windy and cloudy but warm. Water was nice to swim in. Not a lot of people on this side, less busier than Bournemouth.
