Remember to bring cash to buy your ticket. Otherwise it is a 15 minute walk to the nearest cashpoint, located in a newsagent.

If you're heading to Studland, avoid the queues and leave your car on Sandbanks side...catch the ferry, take in the serene views, then walk the shore to Studland. Magical :-)

If the ferries aren't in operation or if there are long queues to board, the alternative will take just under an hour or 27 miles to drive round the bay from port to port

Try and park in right two lanes, either direction of travelling. They exit ferry first.

Keep brakes on during crossing. Good idea to turn the engine off, open windows and enjoy the sea air!

If you use the ferry a lot, pre order tickets, the more you order the cheaper they get.

If you park in the first car park on the left you can't jump the queue... :(

Get in one of the two middle lanes as they leave the ferry first.

Паром прикольный тяни-толкайчик, быстро ходит туда и обратно... Билет стоит 1£, для велосипеда тоже.
