You will need a BCP online account to book a Poole or Bournemouth Beach Hut.
We strongly recommend you check you can access your online account before trying to book to avoid delays when booking.

If you have not logged into your BCP account since August 2020 you will need to reset your password, by clicking "Forgot Password" on the login screen.
You should then receive an email to re-authenticate your email address and give you the secure link to set a new password.
If it hasn't come within a few minutes, then please check your junk/spam folder. If you still can’t access, please email us.

Can I still book if the 4 weeks has already started?

If you wish to amend or extend your booking, please call the Seafront Team on 01202 123 800 quoting your booking reference.

Please note, there will be a £30.00 administration charge to amend any bookings.

Can I sub-let or share my beach hut rental with others?
