Sandbanks is regarded as one of the most exclusive coastal areas in the UK and is renowned for its award-winning golden beaches and for being set on the second largest natural harbour in the world. These waters are famous for year round sports including windsurfing, water skiing, jet skiing, kite surfing, paddle boarding, sailing and swimming and are also home to several marinas and yacht clubs including Sandbanks, Parkstone, Salterns and the prestigious Royal Motor Yacht Club. If you’re not on (or in!) the water it’s a gorgeous backdrop for walking, jogging or cycling too; the route through Sandbanks and across to Studland and the Isle of Purbeck is a particular favourite for local cyclists. The local area is a haven for nature lovers and there are many events in the area that allow you to experience the richness of wildlife in Poole and Dorset. There are bespoke bird-watching cruises and nature trails to enjoy. A trip by ferry to the National Trust gem of Brownsea Island is a delight. Championship golf is available at Parkstone Golf Course and other local highly regarded clubs at Ferndown and Broadstone and further afield at Remedy Oak. The tennis community is strong locally at the The East Dorset Tennis & Croquet Club and The West Hants Tennis Club. The seaside location is wonderful for families with so much to do for children of all ages from building sandcastles and paddling in the sea, to clubs for learning to surf, sail or kitesurf. There are outstanding local schools and prestigious Private School options within easy reach. The property is conveniently located for the small parade of shops, wine bars and restaurants along Banks Road, Sandbanks, including Rick Stein’s highly successful restaurant which is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Further options for eating out can be found nearby in Lilliput and Canford Cliffs villages, and you’ll find fine dining in the New Forest at The Pig or the Chewton Glen hotel & Spa, The Nici in Bournemouth and the Pig on the Beach at Studland. From your waterside home you can walk via the ferry to Shell Bay in Studland, or by boat to lunch at The Priory in Wareham, The Captains Club in Christchurch or even to gain a taste of Ibiza at The Hut on the Isle of Wight! Arts are an important aspect of Poole’s creativity and heritage; the area has a strong and developing arts scene. The Lighthouse, which is Poole’s Centre for the Arts is the largest regional centre in the UK and home to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Last but not least: a Premier League football Club is just 20 minutes drive away and affords a very stress free way of watching some of the World’s best footballers on your doorstep.
