No photo yet

A mile and a half of sand and low reef south of Bude, split by a rocky spine at low tide. The restriction is the long one, mid-May to the end of September between 10am and 6pm, which catches out a lot of visitors who assume the Cornish ban is July and August only. The southern end at Black Rock empties out first.

THE SMALL PRINTProhibited: 15 May to 30 September, 10am to 6pm, under Cornwall Council's Public Spaces Protection Order (Dogs on Beaches). Breaching the order is a £100 fixed penalty notice.

Pub SOME LIMITS

The Bay View Inn

EX23 0AW
No reviews yet

Family-run pub, restaurant and rooms looking straight down onto Widemouth Bay, under new ownership since 2024. The inn describes a dog-friendly bar where furry friends feel at home; it does not extend that in writing to the restaurant or the bedrooms. There are rooms above with balcony views, so ask about dogs when you book rather than assuming.
