Any quiet beaches near Bournemouth

[Wecandothis99]

We are going camping near Bournemouth and fancy a beach day but not on a horribly busy beach like Bournemouth itself. I don't suppose anyone knows of any quiet beaches near there? Don't need any shops or anything fancy just a bit of sand and sea :-)
Thank you

Get the ferry over to Studland from Sandbanks - its a long time since I went but recall lots of sand and space just by the ferry.

It only costs £1 for a foot passenger :

Friars Cliff beach

Thank you both

If you want to stay in Bournemouth go to the beach at Southbourne or Hengistbury Head. Much easier to park in nearby streets and much, much quieter. The photos taken of packed Bournemouth beaches are always taken near the pier. If you walk a few groynes down it is less busy. But Southbourne much nicer all round. Avoid Boscombe pier area as well.

Avon beach is lovely! It's quite close to super-swank Sandbanks, but not snooty at all. Really lovely fish and chips stands on the beach too, as well as a great cafe called the Noisy Lobster. Clean beach toilets and beach huts for hire too. Would highly recommend!
