Sandbanks* recommendations?

Going here on Thursday for 5 days, little brother is 40 so have an AirBnB for all the family etc.

I've never been there before so if anyone has any recommendations let me know, we are staying about 10 mins drive from Sandbanks mostly adults but there will be 3 of my nieces under 10 so family stuff as well.

* all comments about setting up a bank account under Rosie the dog etc welcome.

Corfe Castle definitely worth a look (hop on the Sandbanks ferry).

Also, you can wow your family with the fact that Poole Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world...

Im reasonably sure if I inform my 10 year old niece that she will roll her eye's and ask for some money for something or other.

Surely she would ask "so what's the biggest?"

(And the answer is..?)

I have no idea, but she deffo wouldn't ask that, she would suggest that she get her own way for something in compensation for me boring her.

She is great but she thinks she's 21 sometimes and has enough backchat to be.

I would be useless with a niece that age now - all my nieces/nephews (bar one) are in their 20s.

I'd be all "so - who's top of the hit parade these days?" and get the blankest of stares in response...

(Answer: Sydney harbour. In case she's interested.)

I have 2 8 year olds and a 10 year old.

They are great but they are no mugs, can hold there own in a conversation and or a wind up.
Part of me is dead pleased, they are smart and funny and a pleasure to spend time with and im sure they will do very well in whatever they chose to be.
But part of me misses the bit when they were proper little kids and showing them a coin trick kept them enthralled for ages and chucking them up in the air was the height of entertainment.

I know they have to grow up quick these days but I wish they didn't have to sometimes.

I have family living in Swanage and Wareham so know the area well. It’s absolutely stunning down there. Catch the ferry over to Studland and walk the beach, it’s lovely. The Baker Arms has a fantastic beer garden with tremendous views. The Pig on the Beach is also fantastic but is expensive.

Swanage is brilliant, cracking little seaside town with good pubs. Dulston Castle is worth going to as is Corfe.

For something completely different, if it’s open, go to this place -

good advice.

At Studland you will see loads of people who forgot to get dressed.

a day will come that is like no other.... and nothing that happens after will ever be the same
