Bude is blessed with good sandy beaches and is popular with surfers and
bathers alike. Particular care should be taken however when the water
is at low tide.
Bude is a popular
tourist destination. There is plenty to see and do and the area is
served with excellent shops, restaurants and bars. The unique sea lock
and canal provides a pleasurable walking experience and Bude Museum is
most definately worth a visit. The museum is situated by Bude's canal
and houses collections of photographs, salvaged objects from many
wrecks and a detailed history of Bude's martime past.
Bude Canal was
originally built to carry sea sand to inland soil which was of poor
quality. The Bude Harbour and Canal Company was formed in 1819 and the
Bude Sea Lock was repaired in 2000.
