Bude has two main beaches: Summerleaze Beach, located near the river mouth and close to the town center, and Crooklets Beach, just a short walk north past the sea pool.
Both beaches welcome dogs from October to April, but seasonal restrictions apply from May to September. During this time, dogs are allowed on the beaches before 10AM and after 6PM, making them perfect for early morning or evening strolls.
If you're visiting during the restricted hours, don't worry—Cornwall is home to many beautiful beaches that are dog-friendly year-round, so you’ll have plenty of options nearby!
