East Overcliff - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
This panoramic image was taken from East Overcliff, the road that runs along the tops of the cliffs above the beach between Bournemouth and Boscombe, next to the top station of the cliff lift. The view from here is great. The land side of the road is lined with numerous hotels, while looking out over Bournemouth Bay you can pretty much see all the way from the Isle of Wight to the Isle of Purbeck on a good day. Miles and miles of sandy beach to play around in.
East Overcliff - FURTHER INFORMATION
East Overcliff - Bournemouth visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'East Overcliff' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Dorset.
East Overcliff runs between Boscombe Pier and Bournemouth Pier along the tops of the cliffs. There are many hotels along the cliffs. These hotels offer panoramic views over Bournemouth Bay from their rooms. Below them is Eastcliff Beach with numerous zig-zag paths and an old trolley-car lift that allows easy access from the hotels to the beach itself. East Overcliff is therefore popular for visitors looking for parking near to one of the beaches here. From the top of the cliffs there is a fantastic view of Bournemouth Bay whose sandy beaches run from Hengistbury Head at Christchurch in the east to Sandbanks Beach in Poole in the west.
Among the hotels that line the cliff are East Cliff Cottage Hotel, Menzies Hotels, Bay View Court Hotel and Eastcliff Court Hotel.
Travel and Getting There:
There is some parking along Eastcliff Drive and the surrounding roads.
