Alum Chine Play Park

Right on the clifftop edge near Alum Chine beach, this little playground is honestly one of the better spots in Bournemouth for toddlers and younger kids. The sea views alone make it worth the trip — sit on a bench while the little ones work the slides and swings, and you’ve got a pretty decent afternoon sorted. It’s a solid size for the 2-5 crowd without being so big you’re constantly chasing them. Evening visits in summer are genuinely lovely when the light hits the water. Just eat before you arrive — the nearby café will take your money faster than you’d expect.
