Bude Sandymouth Beach

Sandymouth is a National Trust beach backed by high cliffs. At high tide, the beach is pebbled, but at low tide, large tracts of sand are revealed. In the cliffs, there are interesting rock formations created by erosion.

There are plenty of rock pools to explore and the location is popular for water sports, notably surfing. Water quality is excellent and the beach is Marine Conservation Society Recommended; however, rocks and riptides mean caution should be exercised.

Access to the beach is via a winding path down from the car park, culminating in a set of steps and will be difficult to access by wheelchair. At low tide, it’s possible to walk to Bude across the sand (around 3.2 km/2 mi).  Alternatively, walk the coastal path along the cliff.
