Boscombe Beach is often underrated but is, in fact, beautiful with its white sand, crystal clear water and iconic pier.
Here, you can find the brilliant Urban Reef.
Serving up delicious meals, light bites and refreshing drinks, all served facing the breathtaking views of the Isle of Wight, Bournemouth and as far as the Purbecks.
Here’s what to expect when visiting.

This family-friendly bar, cafe and restaurant is the perfect spot to visit after a dog walk on the beach, a catch-up with friends, or meet-ups with loved ones.
The beautiful setting and friendly atmosphere immediately make you feel at home, and you can chill whilst you enjoy tasty food from the extensive menu.
A breakfast menu consists of a full English served with good quality ingredients and poached eggs cooked to perfection.
Other favourites on the menu include American-style pancakes, eggs benedict, smashed avocado and more.
A children’s menu offers perfect ‘mini’ varieties also. Vegan and vegetarian options are available.
The seasonal main menu is bursting with pub classics and unique dishes, freshly made in the open kitchen so you can see your food being made by the talented chefs.
The staff are also very knowledgable and friendly, ready to help you with any queries and offering service with a smile.
As well as the breakfasts, an Urban Reef favourite is the tasty roast dinners, complete with huge Yorkshire puddings, lashings of gravy and succulent meat.
Other menu options are a sandwich and dessert menu and wood oven pizzas complete with fresh toppings, perfect for taking away onto the beach or enjoying downstairs.
Whether you want to enjoy a coffee overlooking the sea, a glass of wine or a cocktail, Urban Reef has it all and offers great quality produce and drinks.
The view doesn’t get better than this and sets the scene for a great meal out with family and friends or alone people-watching on the seafront.
This is the ideal spot for families, and dogs are also welcome. Little ones can be entertained by the books, games and activities on offer, allowing you to enjoy your time as well.
There are multiple areas to dine, allowing you to a more intimate setting or out on the terrace in the sunshine.
