Zipline from a tall tower on the pier over the waves of the sea and down to the beach from this pier’s exhilarating activity center.

Bournemouth Pier is a hub of adventure activities on a scenic wharf overlooking the sea. It has numerous cafés, restaurants and an activity center with thrilling rides.

The Rock Reef activity center is the main attraction of the pier, offering exciting rides for kids and young-at-heart adults. Try the PierZip, a unique pier-to-shore zipline. From the pier’s tall launch tower, fly over the sea on a wire to the beach.

Clamber over the Clip ’n Climb to see how high you can get. Take a safety briefing before you start and don a harness to stop you from falling. Appreciate the range of climbing walls with a variety of themes and materials. There are also slides and fun play areas for toddlers.

Take the kids into the Pier Cave, which is full of fun surprises, such as ball pits and grottos. Watch them play from the secret window of the café above. For extra challenge, try the Highline obstacle course. Climb ropes and tread over twisting logs in the air.

Descend the pier to the stretch of sand beneath it and set up a picnic with your family. Sunbathe in the summer heat before cooling off in the chilly sea.

Book Rock Reef activities online or on the pier in advance. The activity center opens from late morning until evening and is minimally affected by weather since most of it is indoors.

Bournemouth Pier is located in the southern part of the city, stretching out from the beach. Take a bus to one of the stops near the beach or easily walk south for a few minutes from the city center to reach the pier. Nearby attractions include the Pavilion Theatre and Bournemouth Lower Gardens.
