Summerleaze Beach

Summerleaze Beach in Bude offers a spectacular combination of extensive golden sand and dramatic cliffs, providing one of Cornwall's most popular family beaches just across the Devon border. The beach provides excellent facilities including lifeguard cover during summer months, while the surrounding cliffs offer spectacular walking opportunities. The location combines resort amenities with natural beauty and consistently good surf conditions.

Dogs must be on leads from 21 May to 30 September between 10am and 6pm. This is a lead rule, not a ban, and outside those dates and hours there is no restriction. The beach's size means there's plenty of space, while the firm sand provides excellent conditions for active dogs. The surrounding cliff paths offer additional walking opportunities year-round.

Access is excellent via Bude town centre with large car parks and comprehensive facilities. The proximity to Bude provides full resort amenities including shops, restaurants, accommodation, and the famous Bude Sea Pool. The beach offers surf schools and equipment hire, while the coastal location provides access to both the South West Coast Path and Cornwall's spectacular cliff scenery extending toward Tintagel and beyond.
