The beach at Widemouth (pronounced Widmouth) bay consists of a mile of flat sand, backed by low cliffs and grassy fields. The beach is rocky in places, providing many rock pools harbouring marine wildlife. Due to the accessibility of the beach, it becomes very popular during the summer months, although there are footpaths over the ascending cliffs that allow escape from the busy sands. Widemouth Bay is popular with surfers and its coastal paths provide excellent views.

This beach is in prime condition with sand, rocks and many rock pools. High cliffs and rocky headlands dominate the beach and provide a great variety of wildflowers. The area around Sandymouth is classed as a Heritage Coast and therefore walking is recommended but keep an eye on the tide. Some areas may be cut off by the incoming tide and the cliffs offer little escape. National Trust leaflets provide information about the beach as does the Heritage Coast Exhibition in the Visitor Centre in Bude.
