Bournemouth is a renowned seaside resort[?] in Dorset, on the south coast of England. It remains one of the most popular holiday destinations for British tourists, because of its beach and wide range of accommodation and entertainment.
Bournemouth used to be in the county of Hampshire, but in 1974 the border between Dorset and Hampshire was changed so that Bournemouth is now in Dorset rather than in Hampshire.
