About the pool

Bude Sea Pool is a semi-natural tidal pool and is a safe haven for wild swimming on the edges of the Atlantic Ocean. There is no cost, no booking nor any other imposed restriction. Bude Sea Pool is for everyone to enjoy for free.

Bude Sea Pool is preserved and enhanced, as well as kept safe and free by the charity, Friends of Bude Sea Pool (FoBSP). This charity receives no regular Town, Council or central government funding and therefore relies on the generosity of those who visit and use it.

Friends of Bude Sea Pool (FoBSP) is a company limited by guarantee (#07630060) and a registered charity trust (#1143156), at Bude EX23 8LE. The Charity aims

‘to preserve, improve and enhance the historic Sea Pool at Summerleaze Beach, Bude, Cornwall, as an amenity for the benefit of the community and visitors to the town.’
