Bude is a small seaside resort town in North Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, at the mouth of the River Neet. Its earlier importance was as a harbour, and then a source of sea sand useful for improving the moorland soil. The Victorians favoured it as a watering place, and it was a popular seaside destination in the twentieth century. Bude and the surrounding area has impressive coastal scenery.
Many ships have been wrecked on the jagged reefs which fringe their base. The figure-head of one of these, the "Bencoolen" lost in 1862, is preserved in the churchyard. Its sea front faces west and the Atlantic rollers make for good surfing when conditions are right. There are a number of good beaches in the Bude area, many of which offer good surfing conditions. Bude was the founder club in British Surf Life Saving. Source : www.wikipedia.org.uk
