Road Directions

With the prominent features of the breakwater, Barrel Rock, canal lock gates and the river Neet flowing into the sea, it is probably the most picturesque beach of Bude, inspiring painters, photographers and visitors alike. The little fishing boats, banked on the sand whilst waiting to go out with the next high tide, add to that special charm and atmosphere. Even at high tide there is a good stretch of sandy beach available and, with the tide out, Summerleaze is truly a joy to behold.
