p> Poole is one of the UK's most diverse coastal resorts, offering a wide range of activities to suit people of all interests. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach break, active water sports or historical discovery, a trip to Poole can be ideal for families, couples and sole travellers. Poole Quay is a focal point of much of the city's tourism, and taking a boat out to see the five islands and the Sandbanks peninsula can be a memorable experience on Poole breaks. Nearby Brownsea Island can also be reached with a short boat journey, which has been credited as the best place to see wildlife in Dorset as well as a place of interest for former scouts and guides, as the birthplace of these movements. If you're looking for something more active on your coastal break, Poole is renowned as one of the best places on the south coast for many types of water sports, including jet skiing, kite surfing and windsurfing, whatever your level of experience. Families can also take part in a range of activities at the south coast's leading entertainment centre, Tower Park, which features an indoor water park open throughout the year, a 16 screen cinema, a bowling alley and traditional amusements. Even if you're just hoping to relax or while away the time with a good book during your time in Poole, you'll be spoiled for choice with the three-mile stretch of beaches outside the town. Five of these beaches have been awarded blue flag status, and offer golden sands and stunning scenery, not to mention all the beachside restaurants, bars and entertainments you'd expect from a leading resort. More first-rate restaurants and hotels in Poole can be found by heading inland, where you'll also find a town rich in history. The Poole Museum is often the first port of call for visitors interested in finding out more about the archaeological, political and social history of the Poole area, while more specific aspects of its heritage can be found in museums dedicated to pottery and other local arts. There are many well established walks around the old town and quayside too, including the Cockle Trail walk that takes in many of Poole's most iconic natural and man-made sights. Taking a day trip to Compton Acres will also allow you to enjoy spending time in one of Europe's finest gardens, as well as exploring the 19th century stately home.
