WILD SWIMMING

In a hot summer, it's brilliant to be able to plunge straight into the waves at a variety of beaches on our doorstep. You can swim out across the bay at high tide at Hartland Quay.  Welcombe Mouth is another brilliant spot for a swim and there are heaps of rock pools to bathe in. The sea can be rough and there are no lifeguards at the Quay or Welcombe, so please be careful. Sandymouth is another good spot where there are lifeguards and the sea pool at Bude is lovely too - especially when the waves are too big for swimming in the sea (it's also a beautiful place for a night swim - sometimes there is phosphorescence).
