From coasteering to paddleboarding and surfing, there's much to be done here. Days can be spent devouring ice creams, paddling in the clean waters and dining al fresco in the sand.
Follow the coastal path from Widemouth Bay into Bude, through wispy sand dunes and rugged cliffs. Once here, you’re surrounded by Blue Flag beaches like Crooklets and Summerleaze, which both encapsulate that quintessentially British seaside holiday feeling, with multicoloured beach huts, beachfront cafés and a promenade-style clifftop path. There's a tidal pool here too, built in the Victorian era when the "sea cure" was a popular medical treatment.
