The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else
  • The Octagon (where they used to sell Auntie Vi's Submarine Sandwiches) has been demolished and is now flats. More people and more cars running on the same infrastructure. The Bude Wharf is being improved and will have shore power and water available soon. Whether or not yachties will wish to pay the high fees for using the sea lock is debateable.
  • Hardware Shops: Bude has one of the best in the world. Nails are counted out and put in paper bags. Every item bought is written down in a ledger and the cost is totted up in the head - no till! It takes ages but I love the seriousness of the procedure. It's worth a visit just to soak up the atmosphere or, if you're a local, pass the time of day. Magic! Can you find it?
  • My mum and dads caravan park in Bridgerule, just 5 miles from Bude. Its the coolest place to stay, static caravans and touring caravans, an on site bar and restaurant with brilliant food, a brand new toilet and shower block, massive by most park standards, and great staff!
  • EVENTS worth seeing: The Bude Surf Classic (held at Widemouth Bay) Downhill skate classic (Widemouth to Bude) Bude triathlon
  • Dont come to bude if you are a Kev, SURFERS ONLY
  • SURF SHOPS There is really only one surf shop in N. Cornwall - Zuma Jay's -Main store on Belle Vue Lane behind Boots. Personal friendly service and daily up-to the minute surf report . Phone 01288 354956- and say Charlotte told you first...
  • Sport shops: The Merchantman Insport
