Bournemouth has a good range of shops with mainly well known high street outlets in the centre but also many independent shops. Examples of large stores are Beales, Dingles, Debenhams and Marks & Spencers. The Boscombe area is well known for its many antique shops and for those who are into designer, vintage, and specialist clothes, Westbourne offers a good variety of designer boutiques.
For out of town shopping the massive Castlepoint Shopping centre is easilly accessible by public transport, although there is little else to do in the area (http://www.castlepointsho...)
