All this and more awaits at Sanibel!

Christchurch, a picturesque town in Dorset, is at the mouth of a superb natural harbour formed by the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Avon. Visitors can enjoy a delightful and varied vacation in Christchurch, making it a true gem of a city. The town centre has many interesting stores and restaurants, and the 11th-century castle ruins and the splendid Medieval priory (the longest parish church in the country) are all must-sees. Christchurch isn't complete without a visit to the picturesque quayside, where you may drink refreshments while watching the ever-changing boating scene or go on one of the many boat tours along the tranquil River Stour. Spend the day at one of the area's beautiful sandy beaches, and then ride the ferry from Mudeford Quay across the harbour to the sandbank with the brightly painted beach cabins. If you get bored of the sights here, you can easily drive to the nearby family-friendly resort of Bournemouth or the nearby New Forest National Park. You could also visit the Southborne beach, which connects to Boscombe and then Bournemouth through a promenade. Christchurch, a picturesque harbour town, is a wonderful and varied vacation spot any time of the year.
