Summerleaze Beach is a beautiful sandy beach in Bude, Cornwall. The beach has stunning coastal views, dramatic cliffs and plenty of space to enjoy a relaxing walk by the sea. The famous Bude Sea Pool is right next to the beach, making this area even more special. A lovely place to spend a day and enjoy the Cornish coast. Definitely worth visiting if you’re exploring Cornwall.

Absolutely loved Summerleaze Beach in Bude! A fantastic wide sandy beach with beautiful golden sand, great waves for surfing, and the famous outdoor seawater pool that’s perfect for kids. Easy access, clean facilities, and lovely views across the coast. Ideal for a full day out whether you’re swimming, relaxing or exploring the rock pools. One of the best beaches in North Cornwall!

Great beach at Bude, very large and perfect for dog walking. The tide goes out a long way so lots of space. Also popular for surf school. Plenty of parking around Bude, with easy access to the beach. Lots of interesting features surrounding the beach. Life guard presence. There is also an enclosed sea swimming pool.

Unfortunately when we were there at the end of August the red flags were flying meaning no swimming, surfing etc. nice sandy beach with lots of people. 3 stars awarded as dogs were allowed on the beach. Most beaches don’t let dogs on till September so surprised this one did and for a non-dog family this was disappointing. Visited much nicer beaches during our week so wouldn’t return.

Summerleaze Beach has quickly become our favorite spot during our second day here in Bude, Cornwall and for good reason! It's absolutely stunning, offering that perfect blend of classic Cornish beauty and fantastic amenities. The convenience is unmatched. Having the main car park right in front of the beach makes access incredibly easy, even with all our beach gear. Plus, the welfare facilities right at the start of the beach are a huge bonus, clean, well-maintained, and so convenient for families. The beach itself is a dream. The mix of sand and shingle is lovely, and there's so much space, even on a busy day. We loved watching the surfers, exploring the rock pools at low tide, and simply soaking up the atmosphere. And of course, the iconic Bude Sea Pool is right there, adding another unique element to an already perfect beach day. It truly offers something for everyone, from sunbathers to adventurers. A definite 5-star experience and a must-visit in Bude!
