I remember it like it was yesterday,

those days I spent in Poole - a beautiful little sea-side town in Dorset, England.

Rather than being directly exposed to the English Channel, the coast in Poole really consists of bays and lagoon-like water bodies. This makes for calm waters and fluctuation tides. It also means wildlife vegetation can flourish.

It's also perfect for boating and fishing

I love the sea (as long as I’m not in it), and living on an island means I have a lot of access to it. The UK basically has countless sea-side towns like this, even if many of them seem to look exactly the same.
