Bude in Cornwall, offers pebble and sand beaches and tiny coves against majestic backdrop of rugged cliffs. Crooklets and Summerleaze are among the most popular beaches.
Picturesque Summerleaze Beach features the Bude Sea Pool, a leisurely pool set between the rocks, and provides safe swimming. Bude is known for great surfing, but there are many more water amusements to enjoy.
The Sea Pool at Bude was created in the 1930s to provide a haven for safe swimming for the people of the town and the thousands of people who visit it each year.
The pool nestles under the cliffs on the north Cornwall coast and is topped up twice a day by the waves of the Atlantic. On a summer’s day the sprawling, sparkling expanse of the Sea Pool offers a blissful opportunity to escape from modern life and to laze, splash or bathe in calm sea water. It is a rare kind of construction: partially man-made and in harmony with the natural environment. Bude Sea Pool provides a precious opportunity to enjoy a unique experience, close to the ferocity of the natural environment but sheltered from its extreme effects.
The Friends of Bude Sea Pool was formed in early 2011 to secure the Pool’s future under local management.
