Living up to its name, this expansive beach near Bude stretches for nearly two miles of golden sand backed by dramatic cliffs and rolling countryside. The beach's size means there's always space to find tranquility, even during busy periods, while consistent Atlantic swells provide excellent surfing conditions. The surrounding area offers diverse accommodation options from camping to luxury hotels, while the South West Coast Path provides access to some of Cornwall's most spectacular clifftop scenery stretching toward Bude and beyond.
