Bude Adventure Camp
Embark on the ultimate beach water sports adventure in Cornwall!
Master the art of surfing, bodyboarding, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and coasteering. Set up camp in a private tented village adjacent to the sandy shores of Summerleaze Beach in the charming town of Bude, Cornwall. With its breathtaking coastline and tranquil waterways, Bude is the perfect backdrop for a water sports getaway.
The adventure's pinnacle is learning to surf at Widemouth Bay under the guidance of Freeway Surf Academy's expert team. Widemouth Bay is renowned as one of Cornwall's top surfing spots, offering gentle waves making it an ideal learning environment.
Additionally, seize the opportunity to navigate Bude's historic waterways by paddle board, explore the tide line with a coasteering experience and try your hand at bodyboarding. This magnificent setting offers an unparalleled introduction to beach water sports, led by passionate, skilled and qualified instructors.
Widemouth Bay sits 2.5 miles to the south of Bude town. The large bay is made up of two main beaches both with their own carpark, cafe and toilet facilities. Black Rock Beach sits at the south end of Widemouth Bay and Trelawny Beach to the North. The name Trelawny has all but faded away and Trelawny Beach is now more commonly referred to as Widemouth Beach. Both beaches can be accessed by one another across the sand unless there is a spring high tide where the beaches are cut off from one another.
