All the ingredients for a perfect beach day, Bude boasts two sandy beaches - Summerleaze and Crooklets, a fabulous outdoor sea pool, skatepark, numerous surf schools, a canal, golf course , crazy golf and beachfront cafes.

The end of the canal is a great place to go crabbing, and if you're lucky, you'll witness the lock gates in action. You can hire a beach hut fro Bude Tourist Board.

Life's a beach cafe is a great spot for a meal, with good quality food, and the beach hotel, is also worth checking out.

The town centre is only a short walk from the beach and there are plenty of car parks.
