Shore Road Beach

Shore Road Beach is a large sandy beach that joins with the Sandbanks beach and is part of the long stretch of sand just before the beach hits the Peninsula. The beach has fine sand and gently sloping access to the water making it great for families.

As Shore Road itself stretches along the harbour before reaching the seafront the beach can often be mistaken for being a harbour beach but this is not the case Shore Road Beach is the stretch of great sand on the seaward side.

Shore Road beach along with its close neighbours and Poole harbour is known for great windsurfing and kitesurfing. Popularity is in part as you park once and have the option of sailing from the beach or harbour side depending on wind conditions.

Facilities at Shore Road beach include a cafe, ice-cream kiosks, toilets, lifeguards in the summer, a small carpark and easy access to all the facilities at Sandbanks. When the weather is nice it can be difficult to find places to park.
