Hi guys!
Today we’re in a town on the south coast of England
that has been a holiday hotspot for decades.
This idyllic seaside gem has an award winning beach that is over 11km long.
Wow! Let’s check it out! Yes.
So, here we are. This is Bournemouth Beach, the long, 11km beach.
It’s huge. It feels like it’s never ending.
You know what I really want to do? What?
We have to feel the water.
Yeah, let’s definitely feel the water. Let’s see if it’s warm. What do you think?
It’s cold. I guess it will get warmer in the summertime.
I’m sure it does. Right now it’s pretty chilly.
Yeah, but we did see some people swimming, didn’t we?
I know.
Lots of shells, too. Oh, look at these!
Oh, they’re pretty. This one’s nice.
This one is pearly. Look at this one.
That’s like a proper shell. Did you find any nice ones?
Oooh. That’s beautiful.
It’s sparkly. It feels like one of those pearl earrings that people have.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe if I find a second one… You could make that into an earring.
Oh, look. This one looks kind of similar to the one you have, Maria.
Oh, perfect! I’ve got a pair of earrings. Thank you, Angelina.
Oh, that looks cute. I like that.
It’s nice, right? Yeah.
A lot of coastal towns in England have piers. This one is called Bournemouth Pier
and then they have Boscombe Pier, which is over there.
Yeah. It was opened in 1889 and it’s 230 metres long,
but the Bournemouth Pier is even longer. It’s over 300 metres long
and, at the far end, they have an adventure centre where you can take a zipline from the pier
all the way over to the main land, among other things.
That sounds so much fun, but during this time of year, it’s only open on the weekends.
Otherwise, I would have loved to do that.
Wow. Look at that! Guys, it’s an arcade! Oooh. I love these games.
My favourite thing to win would probably be that big bear with a sweater that says Bournemouth.
Ok, here we go. We got it, we got it. We don’t have him. Oh no!
The disappointment.
I’m going to do it. Ok, you do it. I believe in you. Come on!
Ok, you almost had that.
I could spend two hours trying to get this toy out. Yeah, we should leave before you do that.
Yes. Let’s go.
This is the Bournemouth Cliff Lift. The shortest funicular railway in the world.
We’re here at the colourful beach huts.
They’re so pretty! They are.
Do you want a picture? Yeah, of course.
Okay, I want to do something like …
Angelina, the hut owner. I feel like I’m a pro surfer.
That’s a good one. Now I want one, too.
Thank you!
Okay, that was perfect. There you go! That’s nice. Good pose.
That was so much fun, wasn’t it? I know, they’re so cute.
They are. And in the summer time, you can rent these for the day if you want.
Yes, and they have a couple of chairs and an umbrella.
How nice. Yeah, lovely!
Oh, look. They have fish and chips!
Yeah, let’s definitely get some. We are in Bournemouth.
Mmmmm. We’ve got the goodies.
It’s like the most classical British dish you can think of.
It is. It’s a whole fish, guys!
It is. It’s pretty big. I’m impressed.
It’s pretty good. Hot, hot, hot! It was good!
I heard that another classical way to eat it is with smashed peas.
I think it’s called mushy peas.
I wonder if it’s always the same kind of fish. The most common ones are cod and haddock.
I’ve always liked this whole idea that you can just grab some food and come eat it by the beach.
I think that eating in beautiful surroundings helps the appetite.
It does, especially when the weather is so nice like it is today.
Oh, this was nice. It was!
Let’s go see some more of Bournemouth. Yes.
This area is really nice. I know. I think it’s called Pier Approach.
You have a lot of different things to do here. There are all these little restaurants and cafés.
Over there, I think they have another arcade where you can play some games if you want.
This is great. Lots of things you can enjoy here, guys.
Yeah, I really like the vibe here. It’s very relaxed and really laid back.
This looks like some kind of a flight simulator, which can be kind of fun.
Royal Air Forces Association HD Experience. Yeah!
Look at that, a bouncy castle.
A big bouncy castle with the minions on it, which is cute.
I wish they would let me in those things.
I know it’s only for kids, but I think they’re so much fun.
I know.
There’s even a little train that you can ride. There is a train that you can ride.
It’s super cute. If you’re here visiting
and you want to get a good view of the whole beach area, then you can take the little train.
All these people sitting down and relaxing. I also want to do that!
Me, too.
Do you want to get an ice cream? Ice cream sounds really good.
Yes, and I saw a good place. Did you? Ok, let’s go there.
Oh, guys. This is really yummy ice cream. So good.
What flavour did you go for? Salted caramel. And you?
This is white chocolate with honeycomb crunch – and it is delicious.
I really like this area of Bournemouth. Don’t you? I know. Me, too.
Sometimes I enjoy just sitting down and people watching.
Do you ever make up stories? All the time.
Like, them and them are going here and there because …
I imagine how this person lives their life, where are they off to, what have they been doing?
It’s fun. It is fun. It’s like story making.
He’s on a strike – a doggy strike. He won’t move.
That’s hysterical. Oh my gosh.
I love this Ferris wheel.
It’s white and it fits perfectly into these beach surroundings.
I know. It’s actually really pretty here.
You know what? I feel like we should take a ride on the Ferris wheel.
Really
You want to? Of course I want to.
You’re not scared of heights, are you? No, I’m not. I love heights.
Okay. Let’s get some tickets. Let’s go.
We are about to get a great view of Bournemouth, so get ready.
There’s a beautiful park right there with a big church tower.
I know. It’s a very long beach.
It’s one of the longest beaches I think I’ve ever seen.
It is never ending. It’s like all the way there. I can’t see the end on either side.
This has been nice. We made it down.
Guys, this has been nice. Yeah, it’s been wonderful.
I really liked seeing the view from all the way up there.
We recognized some of the places we saw on the beach, so that was super fun.
Yes.
Guys, we had such a lovely day by the beach today. Yeah, we did. The weather’s great,
we got to try some British fish n’ chips, which was awesome …
Yes, and we have a very British prize for you. We do. We have a Molton Brown soap,
which you can win if you answer the question: What is your favourite thing to do at the beach?
Do you prefer to lay down and tan, or are you more of an activity kind of person?
Please comment below and the best answer is going to get this soap.
Make sure you come to watch the next episode
because we’re going to go and look at some goodies and try some goodies.
Thank you for watching. Bye! See you!
