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”.

Very nice sandy beaches with dunes. A good place to relax by the sea and there are not as many people as on other beaches. Great bike routes. I recommend.

Love it, anytime of the year, now is the best time though! 7 miles sandy clean beach, what’s not to LIKE?

Best destination to visit for a summer beach and picnic. Also, it is a peaceful place if visited before the summer. Had some quiet morning walks on March, April months with awesome sunrise views.

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.

Loved it! We visited for the first week in July 2022. The weather was kind and the clear sea was calm and refreshingly cold. The beach and promenade were fantasticly clean and well kept. We hope to return!

This is one of my favourite sand beaches in the south of England. Soft, white sand and clear water. you can rent the boat here to enjoy a good sunny day. it is also a good place to have a long walk to explore the natural beauty from one end to other end. I would highly recommend this beach .

What a truly beautiful sandy beach. Clean. Clear, shallow water, warm enough to swim. Sandbanks is great for kids. Lots of shells to collect. We loved it! We sat right next to sea. Great toilets, cafe/bar/drinks and snacks.

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.
