BEACHES
SURFS UP ! Polzeath is a very popular family beach. It is world renowned for its surfing possibilities. Here you can hire a board and take to the waves with or without an instructor. (I would recommend having a lesson if you are new to the sport, Wave hunters at Polzeath are very good.)

This is the perfect family beach with something to do for everyone. The beach has a vast sea pool which is manned by lifeguards throughout the summer months. This beach, as well as Widemouth Bay, are great for surfing. The beach is just a short walk from the centre of Bude where there are a range of shops, supermarkets and cafes. – Make sure you grab a Cornish Pasty whilst in town!

Millook is one of Cornwall’s most scenic
hidden gems. Not a lot of people know about
this pebbly beach so you are likely to have
more privacy here. – However I would not
suggest going swimming here, there are no
lifeguards and the beach is mostly rocks.

Crackington Haven is small beach with huge geological
features both on the North and South side. It is great for rock pooling !
Here you have two very good ice cream shops and The Coombe Barton Inn which can certainly supply you with a cold pint after a long walk.

SIGHTSEEING
Trebarwith Strand is beautiful with extraordinary formations and rock pools. At low tide the beach is vast however at high tide you cannot access the beach.
(I would recommend visiting if you get rough/windy weather to watch the Atlantic waves power into the rocks and cliffs)
