This area can get swamped with people, watching the surfers from the top of the green can be fun though

This beautiful beach has a special feature: the sea pool is fed with fresh water by the tide and keeps it at low tide. A real experience: when the tide comes in, the waves wash over the edge of the pool.

The work of art reminds of this technology for oil and gas lanterns - invented by Goldsworthy Gurney in 1839 in this place and until the invention of electric light the brightest artificial light source - and of the "big boom" of the sun and planets on May 17th, 2000. Created by Carole Vincent and Antony Fanshawe.

The lighthouse on the other side of the bay is to be dismantled and moved back from mid-2023, as its current location on the cliffs is becoming increasingly uncertain.

Nice place to promenade, eat and relax awhile

I certainly wouldn't swim in it!

Bude Canal was dug to provide a means to transport sand from the sea inland. The sand is rich in lime and made a great fertiliser for the acidic farmland which was otherwise very unproductive. The initial idea for the canal was in 1774 but it wasn't until 1825 that the canal was actually opened. This two mile stretch from Bude to Helebridge is wide enough for a barge. The canal continues for another 33 miles on a much narrower scale. In this later section the boats were pulled by horses, unusual in the fact that the boats were on wheels. In 1901, the canal was used for the last time for its intended purpose, following the rise of railway transportation. The first two miles were restored in 2009 in a £5 million project.

The Old Laundry gives a glimpse into the canal's industrial past. Now self-catering holiday accommodation it was originally a saw mill, used to produce timber for the canal boats. As the use of canals decreased, the saw mill was repurposed as a laundry for the developing holiday trade. The grade II listed building was converted into four houses in the 1980s.
