We went on a gorgeous January day, blue skies and at low tide we could go miles along the sandy beach - though we were glad we were all in walking wellies as we would have got a bit wet in places without them. We walked back along the cliffs - which is part of the 600 mile South West Coast path - and had some lovely panoramic views on the way. A good coffee cake and a cappucino rounded off the morning nicely.
9. Bude Sea Pool
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,008 reviews
Bude Sea Pool is a part-natural, partially man-made tidal swimming pool on the beach at this popular seaside town in North Cornwall. It was built in the 1930s under the cliffs of Summerleaze Beach to provide safe bathing in sea water, but away from the dangerous Atlantic currents in the bay. Measuring around 91m by 45m, it is topped up at high tide by the Atlantic Ocean. Since 2012 it has been managed by the Friends of Bude Sea Pool, a not-for-profit charity that took over the facility when public funding was withdrawn. The spacious Pool provides plenty of room for paddling or serious swimming: inflatables, snorkels, surfboards and even scuba divers are welcome - just be considerate of other users, please. Bude Sea Pool is open throughout the year and is FREE for all to enjoy. Children must be accompanied at Bude Sea Pool at all times. Swimming in the Pool is FREE but there are donation boxes at the Pool if you enjoy your splash and want to help us maintain this wonderful facility.

We were finally able to travel to Bude in July this year. I had been dreaming about swimming in the sea pool throughout lockdown! So wonderful to be back in the water. Lovely shallow area to test out the temperature and then just delicious salt water swimming. Can’t wait to be back to visit again.
