Southbourne Beach, Dorset

A beach hut for the day. Yours, not shared.

Hut Eleven sits right on the boardwalk, sand a few steps from the door. Book it by the half-day, the full day, or kit it out for the whole family — kettle, loungers and deckchairs are already inside.

Hut Eleven's teal beach hut with its stable doors open onto the boardwalk, Southbourne beach.

Hire options

Half day

£45 / half day

9am–1.30pm or 1.30pm–6pm. Long enough for a proper swim and a flask of tea without the whole day pinned down.

Full day

£75 / full day

9am–6pm. The hut, the deck, and somewhere to dry off and warm up between swims, all day long.

Family day

£85 / full day

Full day plus two extra deckchairs, a windbreak and the bucket-and-spade box — sorted before you've even parked the car.

Inside the hut

Small, dry, and stocked with the things you actually reach for at the beach.

Inside Hut Eleven — a small kitchenette with a gas ring and kettle, coat hooks either side, and beach kit stored under the bench.

Kettle, gas ring and worktop, coat hooks, and a bench for wetsuits and towels.

View from the open doors of Hut Eleven straight out to the sea and beach at Southbourne, with a deckchair and side table on the deck.

Doors open straight onto the boardwalk and the beach — this is the actual view.

Number 11, three doors along from the ramp — easy to find on a first visit.

Before you book

Book online or give us a call, and you'll get a keysafe code by text the morning of your hire. Let yourself in any time from 9am — no need to meet anyone or collect a key in person.

A gas ring and kettle, a small worktop, two deckchairs and a fold-out side table, coat hooks, and a lockable cupboard for your bags. There's no mains power or running water, so bring drinking water and anything that needs charging, already charged.

Dorset weather does what it likes — if it's genuinely unfit for the beach, cancel any time before 8am on the day for a full refund, no questions asked. Half-hearted drizzle doesn't count; the hut's dry and the kettle still works in the rain.
