Bude is situated in North Cornwall, right next to the Devon border. Often compared to Newquay, Bude is a more toned-down version rather than being loud, it’s more of a family-orientated vibe. Bude is a quite compact seaside village with stunning beaches filled with families but doesn’t take long to escape the crowds and find the roads that lead up to the stunning views along the coast.
Holywell Bay Beach is one of the most photographed beaches in Cornwall with the main focus on the two islands out to sea. This unspoiled golden sandy beach stretches for almost a mile and of course is backed on by sand dunes. This makes sunsets in the summer so perfect! Being located near Newquay this beach can get quite busy during summer periods but theres plenty of room on this beach at low tide. Holywell holds a great family friendly atmosphere with seasonal lifeguards at hand and plenty of rock pools, dunes and small stream to explore with the children.
Longships Lighthouse is located in West Cornwall offshore from the famous Lands end attraction. This lighthouse has stood the test of strength and resilience since 1875, battled heavy storms and many ships have been stranded amongst the rocks in stormy seas.
