Living in Boscombe means having the beach right at our feet, which is why we're thrilled to be opening Toft Steps Beach Box Park this year!
Made from reclaimed shipping containers, Toft Box Park will be a hub for all things health, sports, and wellness right on the seafront. It's a fantastic opportunity for local entrepreneurs to get started at a low cost, creating jobs and boosting Boscombe's leisure and tourism scene, while giving visitors even more ways to enjoy the beach.

Here's a glimpse of what the Toft Box Park is expected to offer:
Each container is available for a one-year lease specifically for startups in the BCP area.
We’ve been hard at work preparing for the soon-to-come opening, so most of the development has already been completed.
In March 2024, we demolished the old, derelict cabins and toilet block onsite and replaced them with three 40-foot timber-clad converted shipping containers. These were custom fabricated for us offsite by New Forest Containers in Lymington. Two of the containers are storefront-based, while the other will act as a new public toilet block.
The containers are outfitted with insulation, laminate flooring, electricity, water hookups, interior blinds, and bifold doors that open right onto our award-winning beachfront. They also feature beautiful green living roofs that blend into the natural coastal landscape.
We can't wait to unveil the finished space and share it with everyone very soon!
Toft Box Park sits right by the beach at the bottom of Toft Steps, the path winding down from Overcliff Drive to the seafront. It’s a three-minute walk from the nearest bus stop.
