Bournemouth beach last summer BOURNEMOUTH’S beaches could see pop-up restaurants and bars make an appearance this summer. Five separate licence applications have been submitted to BCP Council seeking permission to serve food and drink along the seafront. Two of the applications seek licences for sections of the beach that are not licensed – one at East Cliff and the other for Toft Beach. The council said the five licences would “enable outdoor pop-up catering sites” to be opened “across the seafront”. However, Alan Dove, chairman of Bournemouth Townwatch, said the sale of alcohol would lead to issues of anti-social behaviour and crime across the area as experienced last year.
