Visiting Bournemouth in winter

Took a 2.5 hrs train trip from London to Bournemouth. It was cold at the beachside, but luckily it was sunny. Enjoying the ceaseless yet soothing sound of the sea waves, it was nice observing people walking their dogs and taking a stroll near the sea. The pier was located at the center, but unfortunately the symbolic huge observation wheel was not open, leaving the structure standing there. It’s quite a different vibe visiting seaside in winter. Will definitely come again.
