About Widemouth Bay

Whether you are an avid surfer, a coastal peruser, beach bod or hiker, Widemouth Bay Beach covers all.

Widemouth Bay is a very long open bay, popular with families and surfers alike and at low tide there are hundreds of rock pools to explore.

Situated just 3 miles south of Bude and accessible along the South West coast path, Widemouth Bay offers fantastic conditions to learn surfing or body-boarding, which is why many of the local surf schools are based there.

Viewing areas are located at both the north and south end of the bay so you can enjoy the fantastic panorama without getting your feet sandy! Surfers will experience a variety of peaks from the north to the south end of the beach. You’ll also spot the Black Rock landmark.
