Welcome to Widemouth Bay, a pristine beach located just three miles from the bustling resort town of Bude. With its vast expanse of open sand stretching nearly two miles, this beach is a true gem of the Cornish coast.
Widemouth Bay offers an unspoiled and wild feel, making it a perfect escape for those seeking solace amidst the chaos of modern life. Facing west, straight into the full force of the Atlantic Ocean, this beach is a favorite among surfers, but be prepared for some wind and waves. If you prefer to relax and soak up the sun, the sand dunes on the foreshore provide a perfect sheltered spot.
The beach has all the amenities required for a perfect family day out, having been awarded the coveted Blue Flag Award, ensuring top-notch facilities such as cafes, toilets, and lifeguards during the summer months. Remember, safety is paramount, so please pay attention to the flags and take care when swimming in the ocean.
The southern end of the beach is home to a rocky foreshore, which is a delight for rock pooling enthusiasts. During low tides, the rocky outcroppings reveal a wealth of marine life just waiting to be discovered. The most distinctive feature of this area is Black Rock, an imposing lump of rock that rises high above the surrounding beach, providing a dramatic contrast to the surrounding scenery.
