West Southbourne is an electoral ward on the eastern edge of Bournemouth, within the unitary authority of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in England. It sits along the coast, with clifftop promenades and stretches of Victorian and Edwardian housing that reflect its development as a late‑19th century seaside suburb; the seafront and easy access to nearby green spaces give it a distinctly coastal character.
The ward has a largely residential mix of families, retirees and holiday lets, supported by a parade of independent shops, cafes and services centred around Southbourne and Southbourne Grove, while summer tourism lifts the local economy. Community groups and small local events are common, and its position between Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch means good transport links and easy access to larger town amenities.
