Funded by the government’s Local Digital Collaboration Unit at MHCLG and developed by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council the simple-to-use app is free to download and available from Google Play and the Apple App Store.
The app allows you to look at all of the islands beautiful beaches or search for individually named areas such as West Beach or Central Beachlands.
