A vast expanse of golden sand surrounded by rocky outcrops provides the perfect setting for a spot of rock-pooling, surfing and family fun at Crooklet's beach in Bude.

At low tide, you can walk to neighbouring Summerleaze beach, with its part man-made, part natural sea pool for that alternative salty dip.
