Discover Widemouth Bay on the North Cornish coast

Widemouth Bay has long gone under the radar as one of the best beach holiday destinations that North Cornwall has to offer. Its rugged coastline and long sandy beach is contrasted by the brooding drama of the Celtic Sea. The ebbing tide reveals a plenitude of rock pools, marked by the iconic “Black Rock”. Widemouth Bay beach is ideal for family days out, with its golden sands and gentle surf, and not forgetting its spectacular sunsets. The entire coastline is rich in maritime and smuggling history, with plenty of secret coves and inlets waiting to be discovered. Widemouth Bay has two beach shops, surfboards for hire, and is patrolled by lifeguards throughout the summer season. Close by, is the harbour town of Bude; a historic settlement set on the mouth of the River Neet that has been voted Best UK Coastal Resort for two years running.
