Bournemouth, 365 days a year

Sea temperature and waves measured by the bay’s buoy, tide from the gauge on the pier, water quality for all seven beaches — live, timestamped, never modelled.

CANCELLED for the rest of 2026 after the wildfire alert — what happened, every date, and the best places to stand when they return.

Today’s times computed for the seafront, and every good spot to watch from — photographed by us, not stock.

What it really costs, where it is far cheaper, and the rules that catch people out — every price from BCP’s own pages, dated.

Real 4G/5G speeds our own van logs as it drives around Bournemouth and Poole — the places that tested fastest for working on the move, on a map you can check before you rely on it. One van, one network, measured not modelled.

Ten seconds, where you’re standing: your phone’s real mobile-data speed, how it compares with your part of town, and a live map everyone’s readings build together. No sign-up, nothing that identifies you — and no network league tables.
