Local Information
ON THE WATER
Poole Quay is on the second largest natural harbour
in the world boasting eye-catching yachts and offshore
power boating among many of its year-round water
based activities. If however, you feel a little
left out watching all those privately-owned yachts
skimming past, there’s no need, find your sea
legs on the Brownsea Island ferry service which
criss-crosses between Poole Quay, Brownsea Island
and Sandbanks, or even charter a sailing boat or
motor boat. You can even get a Harbour Cruise over
to the Isle of Wight.
If you want to go further a-field you can catch
the Condor Ferry over to the Channel Islands for
a mini day trip.
Crabbing is always a very popular way to keep the
kids entertained and where better then directly
off Poole Quay? Walk the Cockle trail and enjoy
tales of the past.
Catch the land train from Poole Quay to Poole Park
where you’ll find plenty of space for the kids
to run around, a 55-acre lake, a restaurant, a ride-able
miniature railway, play areas and many other attractions
to suit all ages.
For the adults, there’s also the chance to
do some deep-sea fishing - charter available directly
from the Quay.
