Widemouth bay is one of the biggest beaches around. A great spot for surfing, body boarding or just sunbathing.
The left hand side of the beach is called black rock and is dog friendly all year round. The right hand side has dog restrictions during the summer months, but you can walk over the headland from black rock to the main car park, where you will find Widemouth bay cafe and surf schools such as Freewave Surf Academy
Black rock also has a cafe and beach shop with a good selection of Cornish ice creams.
You can also walk to the beach house restaurant, where theres also a small shop and fish mongers. The Widemouth Manor is just up the road, which offers a great spot to watch the sun go down in their sunset lounge.
You don't have to worry about the tides at Widemouth Bay, as there is always some sand exposed.
