Hamworthy Park Beach is unusual as it is actually within Poole Harbour and so does not front onto the open sea. It is though still a fine beach and a great place for water sports.
There are a number of beach-huts along the back of the beach and it is an integral part of the pretty Hamworthy Park. Within Hamworthy Park you will find a large paddling Poole and a nearby cafe as well a children’s play area.
Hamworthy Park Beach: Dog Friendly
This is a dog friendly beach although the play park and paddling pool are strictly out of bounds. You can find information on all dog friendly beaches within Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch on this page
An Integral Part of Hamworthy Park.
This is a less hectic beach. But is a charming and friendly place to go for an outing. Be aware though that it still gets busy in the summer. Don’t forget there’s a large beautiful park immediately adjacent to it.
So if you don’t like sand in your sandwiches you can always just drop back from the beach. Just find a nice grassy spot and have the there!
