Boscombe Pier

Boscombe Pier extends 600 feet into the English Channel, originally built in 1889 and rebuilt after storm damage in 2009. This elegant Victorian structure features a distinctive modern design with curved walkways and contemporary shelters while maintaining traditional pier charm. The pier offers spectacular views along the Dorset coast, opportunities for fishing, and serves as a gateway to the surf culture that defines Boscombe. Below the pier, surfers catch waves year-round while families explore rock pools at low tide. The pier connects to the lively Boscombe beachfront with its independent cafés and shops. Recently restored to high standards, the pier symbolizes Boscombe’s regeneration, blending heritage with modern seaside living. Free to access, it’s perfect for sunset strolls and coastal photography.
