Bude's Middle Beach is one of three great beaches in one of Cornwall's top resort towns. Surfers who travel to Bude will find Middle Beach a fantastic spot, sat between its 'older siblings' of Crooklets and Summerleaze beaches. It has great surf of its own, beach break peaks that work through from low to high tide. As with Crooklets beach there are rocky outcrops across the beach, which all surfers should take care of, particularly as the tide starts to cover them. It is literally only a short walk from here to Summerleaze and Crooklets, so is a good over flow if you want to pass the crowds and find a quieter section of beach.

The sports facilities behind Summerleaze are also only a short walk away, as are Crooklets Beach Café, the pitch and putt and tennis courts for if you want something for on the flat days or after you get out of the water. The conveniently placed Crooklets Inn, 200m up behind Crooklets beach is a great venue for drinks after a day on the beach.
