Brownsea Island

Brownsea Island: Red Squirrel Spotting & Private Beach Escape

4.6 (111)

Catch the ferry from Sandbanks or hop on a Poole Harbour and Islands Circular Cruise to reach this car-free island. Forget the castle—it’s private—and head straight for the pine woods to spot rare red squirrels or hit the south shore for quiet, swimmable beaches. Spend about four hours exploring the lagoon trails. Bring your own snacks as the cafe prices are steep. It’s peak summer vibes without the mainland crowds; just watch the last boat times.
