A great coastal activity to try whilst on holiday in Bude. Coasteering is a fun mix of adventure swimming, jumping and scrambling where you will get to explore some of North Cornwall's most rugged coastline. Typical coasteering spots boast jumps of varying heights, historic smugglers caves and some amazing underwater flora and fauna, there really is something for everyone in this activity. For more information contact Shoreline Extreme Sports or Freewave Surf academy.
Paddleboarding or SUP is an achievable, more relaxing alternative to surfing and one of the fastest growing water sports around the world. At Bude Surfing Experience, learn the basics of SUP on Bude Canal, surrounded by nature and the perfect location in all weather conditions. Journey up and down the scenic canal, either as part of a lesson or independently with our SUP hire equipment. Perfect for all ages and confidence levels, this is a great way to be on the water.
This is a great day out for both adults and children. This family-friendly water sports park is approximately 20 minutes from Ivyleaf. Choose between the Aqua Park wakeboarding and Ringo rides. For the ultimate adventure, make it a day to remember by combining all these activities!
Enjoy the convenience of on-site parking, along with well-equipped changing rooms and hot showers, enhancing your overall experience. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome as there is a foot path around the lake.
WALKING AND HIKINGBude is an excellent starting point for walking and accessing the coastal path. At low tide you can walk from Crooklets along the beach a magnificent all the way to Northcott and then to Sandymouth and then come back along the coastal path to make a circular walk. Alternatively you can walk sections of the Coastal path in the opposite direction to Widemouth Bay and Black Rock.
If you would prefer a flatter walk, then there is the option to walk up the Canal to the Weir.
