The Watersports Academy Location

The Watersports Academy is located on Sandbanks peninsula, one of the most picturesque locations in the country, with views over Poole Harbour to Brownsea Island, Poole Quay and the Purbeck Hills.

The purpose-built headquarters is located at the harbour's edge, providing immediate access to the water, hot showers and changing facilities!

Poole Harbour is widely acknowledged as the perfect learning location due to its unique combination of terrain, not found elsewhere.

The shallow, waist-deep water ensures your safety, while Sandbanks peninsula itself shelters the harbour from the elements, providing a flat and predictable surface perfect for learning without distraction...

The harbour is an area of international importance for wildlife conservation, bordering three National Nature Reserves including Brownsea Island - perfect to investigate, or just to relax and enjoy such beautiful surroundings.

Sandbanks peninsula has ample parking along the harbourside and in the beachside car park, and with two FJB Hotels on the peninsula itself you can be sure that all facilities you need are immediately to hand.
