Widemouth Bay is a large sandy bay on the North Cornwall coast, around three miles south of Bude. The beach stretches for nearly two miles and is particularly popular for surfing and bodyboarding, with rock pools around the southern end at Black Rock. Cafés and other facilities are close to the beach, while the South West Coast Path runs along the cliffs above the bay. You can follow the coast north towards Bude or head south towards Millook and the more rugged coastline beyond Widemouth.

Beach Cottages and Sea Views at Widemouth Bay

A beach cottage at Widemouth Bay is ideal if you want to stay close to the Atlantic coast rather than in a larger town. Properties are available around the bay and surrounding area, with some offering sea views and others within easy reach of the shore.

Accommodation ranges from smaller cottages for couples to larger holiday homes for families and groups. If you want to explore other parts of the county during your stay, browse our Cornwall cottages by the sea.

 

Walk the Coast Between Widemouth Bay and Bude

The South West Coast Path provides a direct walking route between Widemouth Bay and Bude. You can follow the cliffs north from the bay before eventually reaching the town, where the route connects with Summerleaze Beach and Bude Canal.

There is also a 5½-mile circular walk from Bude to Widemouth Bay. The route follows the Coast Path to Widemouth before heading inland through the countryside and returning beside Bude Canal. Visit Bude estimates around three hours for the complete walk.

Heading south from Widemouth takes you towards Millook and Crackington Haven, where the coastline becomes steeper and the walking more demanding.

 

Beaches and Places to Visit in Bude

Bude is only a few miles from Widemouth Bay and gives you several more beaches to explore. Summerleaze is close to the town centre and has the well-known Bude Sea Pool beside the beach. Crooklets lies immediately to the north, while Northcott Mouth and Sandymouth provide further choices along the coast.

The town also has shops, cafés and restaurants, and you can walk or cycle beside Bude Canal when you want a change from the beach. If you’d prefer to stay closer to the town, our Bude cottages by the sea include properties around Bude and its surrounding coastline.
