Lying at the mouth of the
River Neet, Bude is a popular Georgian seaside
resort with its own sheltered harbour and
magnificent, bucket-and-spade beaches.
Its bay is comparatively shallow and is arguably
the best in the world for surfing. Indeed, the
first Surf Life Saving Club was formed here. |

The unique, heavily-banded
cliffs are frequently battered by the Atlantic and
look like rocky rainbows.

vessels.
A local folk museum tells the full story of 19th
century Bude Canal around which the town was
originally built.
