A reminder to the unwary that we are now in peak charging cost time for using Cornwall Council car parks.

Widemouth Bay, Summerleaze and Crooklets car parks, for example, now cost:

1 April – 31 October

All days 9am – 6pm

  • Up to 1 hour – £2.20
  • 1 to 2 hours – £4.40
  • 2 to 3 hours – £5.50
  • 3 to 4 hours – £6.50
  • 24 hours – £10.00
  • Weekly – £25.00

All days 6pm – Midnight

  • Evening Session – £2.00

Midnight – 9am

  • No Charge

If you use the beaches regularly and are local but live outside Bude itself, then it is worth looking into prepaid parking.

These car parks currently remain free to park at:

Northcott Beach and Sandymouth Beaches are National Trust owned so free to members.
