Other alternatives such as body boarding are also popular and easily arranged, while the resort also has some excellent surf shops. 1. Bude Beach Bude’s dramatic coastline is home to Demerara-soft sand, glittering seascapes and lovely low-key beach huts. You’ll find beaches with Blue Flag and Seaside Awards, and all of the life guarded beaches have been rated as Excellent under new EU Regulations for bathing water quality. Millook Beach Black Rock Beach Widemouth Bay Beach Summerleaze Beach Crooklets Beach Northcott Mouth Sandymouth Bay Duckpool Bude is the ultimate base for adventurers and beach lovers. Do you dream of safe, child friendly beaches with great facilities and oodles to do?
