Summer in Bude
There’s nothing quite like summer in Bude. Whether you’re a local or visiting Cornwall for the first time, the season is full of adventure and charm. One of our favorite ways to enjoy a summer morning is by heading down to the beach for a seaglass hunt. At low tide, the shores are scattered with colorful gems washed up by the sea, just waiting to be found. It’s the perfect activity for all ages – fun, free, and a little bit magical.
Once you’ve filled your pockets with beach treasures, the adventures don’t stop there. Take a stroll up the road from Coombe Rise and you’ll find one of the area’s best traditional pubs – The Preston Gate Inn. Known for its friendly atmosphere and delicious home-cooked meals, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day in the sun. Grab a table outside, enjoy a local brew, and soak up the summer vibes.
If your timing is right, you might even get to experience Preston Fest, a mini festival celebrating the best of Cornish beer, cider, and gin, complete with live music. It’s a true local highlight and a fantastic way to get a taste of Cornwall’s laid-back summer spirit.
Still wondering why Cornwall? It’s more than just the beaches and beautiful views. It’s the sense of adventure, the welcoming local spots, and the endless ways to make the most of every sun-drenched day. Whether you’re hunting for seaglass, enjoying fresh local food, or sipping a cool drink in a cozy pub, Bude is the perfect summer escape.
