Sandymouth Beach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coordinates: 50°51′40″N 4°33′18″W / 50.861°N 4.555°W
Sandymouth is a beach three miles north of Bude in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
The area is formed from cliffs and rock formations (see Geology of Cornwall) with a broad sandy beach below. It lies between two headlands, Steeple Point and Menachurch Point, close to the small settlement of Houndapit and is managed by the National Trust.
The seabed off the coast of Sandymouth Beach slopes sharply which produces strong surf. The coast around Bude has a long history of surfing and Sandymouth Beach is a popular surfing spot.
