The Bournemouth Land Train provides a charming and practical way to explore the seven-mile seafront, running between Boscombe and Alum Chine. This popular tourist attraction resembles a small road-going train and offers a relaxing journey along the promenade with coastal views throughout. The land train operates during the summer season, making multiple stops at key points including piers, beaches, and attractions. It’s particularly useful for families with young children, elderly visitors, or anyone who wants to experience the entire seafront without walking the full distance. The cheerful red and yellow train has become an iconic part of Bournemouth’s seaside scene. Tickets are affordable, and the journey provides excellent orientation for first-time visitors while offering convenient transport for regulars exploring different beach sections.
