Friends Of Bude Sea Pool

Bude Sea Pool is a part-natural, part man-made tidal pool on Summerleaze Beach in the popular seaside town of Bude, North Cornwall. Built in the 1930s under the cliffs, it provides a safe swimming area away from the dangerous Atlantic currents. Measuring approximately 91m by 45m, the pool is naturally replenished by the Atlantic Ocean at high tide. Since 2012, Bude Sea Pool has been managed by the Friends of Bude Sea Pool, a not-for-profit charity that took over when public funding was withdrawn. The charity fundraises to keep the pool open, safe, and free, as it receives no regular public funding. Please consider becoming a Friend or making a donation to support this unique facility. Children must be accompanied at all times, and dogs must be kept on a lead and out of the water. We look forward to welcoming you!
