About this Beach

Crooklets Beach is a delightful sandy stretch nestled on the outskirts of Bude in North Cornwall. This family-friendly beach offers golden sands, rock pools teeming with marine life, and sweeping coastal views. During summer months, RNLI lifeguards patrol the beach, providing peace of mind for swimmers and surfers alike. Facilities include toilets, showers, and a beachside café serving up tasty refreshments. Dog restrictions apply from May to September, but pooches are welcome outside these months.

The beach’s gently sloping sands make it ideal for sunbathing, sandcastle building, and paddling in the shallows. When the tide is out, a vast expanse of sand is revealed, perfect for beach games or long walks along the shoreline. Surfing is popular here, with consistent waves suitable for beginners and more experienced riders. The surrounding cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop, especially beautiful when lit by the golden glow of sunset.

Crooklets forms part of a longer stretch of coastline, connecting with neighboring Summerleaze Beach at low tide. This opens up opportunities for scenic coastal walks with breathtaking views across Bude Bay. The beach’s proximity to town amenities, coupled with its natural beauty, makes it a beloved spot for both locals and visitors. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing day of sunbathing, an active surf session, or a peaceful evening stroll, Crooklets Beach offers a quintessential Cornish seaside experience.
