Watch the Boats at Mudeford Quay Beach, Christchurch
Mudeford Quay Beach is a small sandy stretch of beach overlooking Chichester Harbour and next to Mudeford Quay and the Mudeford Quay Play Area.
Mudeford Quay Beach
This is a good place to launch a boat, kayak etc or to play in the sand. It’s not really somewhere suitable to paddle or play in the water though as it is muddy.
Instead, take the ferry to the beach opposite the quay on Mudeford Sandbank or walk down to Avon Beach.
Mudeford Quay
Mudeford Quay is a working fishing harbour at the mouth of Christchurch Harbour. You can ride a ferry, try crabbing or simply relax on the beach.
Crabbing
People fish for crabs from the quayside using lines and bait bags, which can be bought on the quayside. You are asked not to use hooks.
Mudeford Quay Play Area
Next to the quay and car park is Mudeford Quay Play Area, a small adventure play area dominated by a huge ship to plunder.
