About

East Cliff is a residential neighbourhood situated on a plateau overlooking Bournemouth Bay. The area is characterised by a mix of period homes, guest houses, and modern apartment blocks, with tree-lined avenues leading towards the clifftop. Its primary green space is the grassy East Cliff Overlook, which provides sweeping views across the water to the Isle of Purbeck.

A notable feature is the presence of the Bournemouth Upper Gardens, a wooded chine that cuts through the cliff down to the promenade below. This steep, vegetated ravine creates a distinct natural divide within the urban area, offering a quiet network of footpaths away from the main roads. The cliffside is stabilised by a long, concrete sea wall that borders the beach.
