The character of Bournemouth
The Square and the gardens carry heavy pedestrian footfall and limited through traffic, so cars generally wait on one of the surrounding streets. The seafront and the roads down to the beach get busy on fine days and through the summer season, when parking near the sand itself is scarce. Westbourne and the residential streets behind the centre are more straightforward, with clearer kerbside access.
