Overview

Crooklets Beach sits adjacent to Bude just across the Cornwall border, offering a long stretch of golden sand popular with surfers and families. The beach provides excellent wave conditions while maintaining good safety standards with lifeguard cover. The location provides spectacular cliff scenery and connects to excellent coastal walking routes.

Dog arrangements typically follow Cornwall Council policies, with seasonal restrictions during summer months but year-round access during quieter periods. The beach's length provides good exercise opportunities when accessible, while the surrounding cliff paths offer additional walking options.

Access is via Bude town with comprehensive parking and facilities available. The proximity to Bude means excellent amenities including shops, restaurants, and accommodation are readily available. The beach provides surf schools and equipment hire, while the cliff-top walks offer spectacular Atlantic views. The location marks the transition from Devon's red sandstone to Cornwall's different geological character.
