Adjacent to Bude's town center, Crooklets Beach combines convenience with natural beauty, featuring a long stretch of sand backed by grass-topped cliffs. The beach is popular with families thanks to its lifeguard coverage, nearby amenities, and the iconic Bude Sea Pool – a 1930s saltwater swimming pool built into the rocks. Strong Atlantic swells make it a favorite with surfers, while the coastal path offers spectacular clifftop walks with views stretching to Lundy Island on clear days.
