About Pietro

Pietro Lacerda covers the part of Bournemouth most people come for: the long run of sand from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head, the chines that lead down to it and the water beyond. He has lived on this coast all his life and writes the beach guides, the watersports guides and the walks, from a winter stroll along the promenade to the path over Old Harry Rocks.

His articles are practical: which beach suits a family, a dog or a quiet swim, where the lifeguards are in season, how the tide and the wind change the day, and how to get there on foot or by bus from central Bournemouth. He writes for the Flexiestays team and always notes what is seasonal, so nobody turns up to a closed kiosk in February.
