Sandbanks Beach is considered one of Britain’s best beaches and has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag for over 30 years. It’s particularly well suited to families since the beaches are wide and there are two lifeguard stations protecting the beach. If it clouds over then there is a children’s play area, crazy golf, slackline, table tennis and volleyball nets.
