Poole Quay Boat Haven
Visiting by boat
Tucked inside England's largest natural harbour and sheltered behind a breakwater, Poole Quay Boat Haven gives you some seriously well-protected berthing with easy access to the quayside's bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. It's a proper harbour town feel — you're a short hop from Brownsea Island and Port of Poole Marina is just across the water if you need it.
