We have one week left available over the summer 11-18 August. Please let us now if interested and we will send you more details.
Summerleaze Beach
The north coast of Cornwall has many gems distinct to this part of the coast and among them are the beaches of Bude. Summerleaze Beach and Crooklets Beach sit close the town's centre and are fantastic beaches – in summer there are buckets and spades and body boards as far as the eye can see. But they remain popular with locals all year round. Named among the top three beaches in the UK by the Sunday Times, Summerleaze sits is a great all-rounder for families..., adventure-seekers and simply catching some sun.
One of its major attractions is the stunning sea pool – stretching 91m across from the beach, this semi-natural pool was created under the curve of the cliffs in a conservation area for locals to enjoy water-based activities; freshly filled by each tide, today it is enjoyed by more than 50,000 people a year. The pool is free and supported by a fundraising group - the last few years has seen massive improvements including repairs to the sea wall and new walkways and railings at a cost of £350,000.
Summerleaze has a rep for being one of the best beaches in Cornwall for outdoor pursuits and water sports, but manages to be incredibly family-friendly at the same time. Other facilities include a car park, a beachside café/bistro, hire shop for surf equipment, an RNLI base and a full range of water-based activities; we love stand-up paddleboarding and, of course, surfing.
There are also rows of pretty pastel painted beach huts in various sizes with whitewashed coastal interiors available for hire to make your holiday complete.
