Food scene

Temple does lovely, local produce and is conveniently just next to Summerleaze beach. If you are lucky, you might catch one of their special menus - they even do Sri Lankan!

Sightseeing

Great for a sunset dip. Try timing your swim about an hour or two before an evening high tide. Nice and warm!

If you don't mind a bit of a tricky climb down a narrow winding path, the Upton beach is probably the least busy beach around. It has rock pools that fill during high tide and warm in the sun during low tide, making it a lovely spot for kids who can make the climb. Dog friendly, but no buggies, bikes and the like. Remember to take a packed lunch and lots of water, else you'll have to climb all the way back up!

Lovely beach, but it does get very busy in the summer. Dogs need to be on leads from April to September. You can rent a beach hut for your stay, which will save you lugging your beach gear! https://www.visitbude.info/accommodation/summerleaze-decking-beach-huts/

A bit of a drive from Aaloka, but a nice beach to go to if Summerleaze, Crooklets and Widemouth are a bit crowded. Parking can be tricky!

A nice beach (but out least favourite, but we are spoilt for choice!). Has the benefit of having lots of child-friendly cafes very close by. Rosie's does lovely pizza and ice cream!

Fun stuff to do

We love paddleboarding on the canal! Especially in the evenings, when Bude is wonderfully quiet. These guys are brilliant if you'd like to try it out, https://www.budesurfingexperience.co.uk/

If you didn't bring your bikes, but still want to explore Bude on bike, we'd recommend Bude Bike Hire. https://budebikehire.co.uk/ Aaloka is a great starting point for bike rides, as it is 2 minutes from the main bike route into town.
