Sandbanks Beach (Poole) (Sandbanks Peninsula)
Sandbanks is a spit of golden sand that crosses the mouth of Poole harbour and continues all the way to Bournemouth, a distance of around five kilometers. Dubbed Britain’s Palm Beach, because of astronomical land prices, Sandbanks is well-served by upmarket hotels and restaurants.
The Sandbanks Chain Ferry connects Sandbanks with Studland.
