Thanks for replies, everyone.
Bournemouth beach - Seems that we shall have to look for black and white flags, or anchor close to beach and swim ashore ...

Or take the sensible option of 'not going to Bournemouth beach'?

On the local radio news today it was reported that Marine Police had been involved because of Jet-ski's behaving dangerously close to swimmers. The rules for boats are apparently no landing or launcing from April to October. https://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/AttractionsLeisure/BeachesandWaterfront/watercraft.aspx
Which I've just noticed Tlouth7 already posted...

Currently anchored at Shipstal. Took the dinghy ashore for a walk round. Chatted with an RSPB 'warden' who gave us a long talk about all the damage caused by dinghies landing on the highly sensitive beach. He had no idea what the damage was, to what or how it was caused. I wasn't going to argue with him so continued our walk.

I seem to remember English Heritage trying that in Osbourne Bay, as well as banning anchoring. They didn't succeed

That beach is marked as a footpath on the OS map!

Precisely, I think I am correct in saying that their own walks are routed along the beach too. Certainly many visitors take that option. They'll be hoiking the paddling kiddies out of the sea next.
