Parking in Bournemouth

[Florabella]

Does anyone know how quickly the car parks near Bournemouth pier fill up in the morning? Trying to work out whether to drive or take the train tomorrow morning. Thanks

Very much depends on the weather. If sunny, by 9am, otherwise spaces were available when I parked last week just before 10. There will be spaces at car-parks not directly on the pier (pavilion, upper Hinton Road, BIC or Winter Gardens) until a bit later.

Lol! Good luck! 😬😬

You'd be better off OP on a sunny day - especially in school hols - parking in Boscombe and walking a bit to the beach.

We were there a few weeks ago pay & display car parks do tend to fill quickly , I’d advise getting there early before 10am

Thanks all. We took the train in the end.

Hope you had a great time, OP!
