Beaches on the North Cornwall Coastline

North Cornwall has some of the best beaches in the UK. Many of these are within a short drive of Treworgie Barton holiday cottages. The main beaches have full lifeguard cover during the main season and have flags to indicate safe swimming ad surfing areas. Dog bans operate at Crooklets, Crackington Haven and the north beach at Widemouth from Easter to the 1st October.

Summerleaze Beach

The closest beach to Bude town centre with level access from summerleaze car park. When the tide is out there is a huge expanse of clean fine sand, although at low tide the currents can be strong and it may be unwise to go into the water. At low tide you can also explore Bude's famous Breakwater, with "Tommy's Pit" and the landmark of Barrel Rock.

Crooklets Beach

This beach is also close to Bude's town centre. Crooklets often provides ideal conditions for surfing. There are regular surfing and life-saving demonstrations throughout the year.

Widemouth Bay

A great family beach with over 2 miles of open sand at low tide. A popular venue for surfers providing spectacular waves. Buried beneath the beach is the Trans-Atlantic "hotline" cable directly linking Downing Street to the White House.

Crackington Haven

This lovely cove, flanked by fascinating 430 ft cliffs, is patrolled by lifeguards durig the summer. The sizeable area of sand is bordered by low reefs and often provides numerous little rock pools to explore.
