In the mid-1800s Sandbanks was a wild and remote piece of Dorset. During the previous century however, this little sandy landmass bordering Poole harbour has grown significantly from a windswept, meagrely occupied tract of beach head, being less than 1 sq km in area, into a dynamic and vibrant location, close to the biggest common harbour in Europe. The area has become a top of the line cruising and sailing destination, having Blue Flag seafront facilities  and a certain Mediterranean atmosphere that make it an asylum for the rich and famous and as well as a summer destination for large numbers of summer tourists.

The growth in property prices over recent decades has resulted in Sandbanks becoming one of the most expensive places to live on Earth, rivalling places like Hong Kong, Tokyo and London to name a few. In 1997 you could pick up properties for £495,000! Whereas today, prices in excess of £1million are certainly not unusual.
