The city is a tourist and regional centre for leisure, entertainment, culture and recreation. The award-winning Central Gardens are a separate major public park, leading for several miles down the valley of the River Bourne through the centre of the town to the sea. It has a thriving youth culture, including a large university population and many language school students.
The main shopping streets in the centre of the town are just behind the seafront on either side of the River Bourne; footpaths lead down to the sea from The Square through the lower section of Bournemouth Central Gardens. They are mostly pedestrianised and lined with a wide range of boutiques, stores, jewellers and accessory shops. There are modern shopping malls, Victorian arcades and a large selection of bars, clubs and cafés.
Due to its location on the south coast, Bournemouth has a temperate climate with moderate variation in annual and daily temperatures. The warmest months are July and August, which have an average temperature range of 12 to 22 °C (54 to 72 °F), while the coolest months are January and February, which have an average temperature range of 2 to 8 °C (36 to 46 °F).
