Poole Quay is easily accessible from Poole town centre, a few minutes walk down from the Dolphin Shopping Centre will take you into the older part of the town with more original roads and buildings. A straight walk down the highstreet will naturally lead to the quayside. This port has been in use for centuries and now serves cross-channel ferries, yachtsmen and fishermen. Many fine craft are now moored in the safety of the quay's naturally protected waters mainly due to a recent spate of luxury quayside developments. This area is set to become the new 'jet set' port of call and no doubt property prices will remain higher than average.

Various unique photos of the Quay can be viewed in the DorsetMap Photo Gallery.
