Life's A Beach

Fantastic dressed crab salad and haddock and chips. Very friendly staff and quick service. Lovely place to eat overlooking Bude beach.

Had a lovely lunch in the sunshine here. Front of house showed us to our table, admittedly he ran off before I could even ask a question but it was quite busy. I’m gluten & dairy free and they made the prawns in a garlic & chilli oil instead of garlic butter and it was superb! I couldn’t eat the roll as it has soya in so they swapped for chips, which were amazing… although I think they forgot these and I had to ask for them again after eating half my prawns! However, they came really fast after that! Great atmosphere & location just above the beach. Would definitely return!

My wife and I visited here a number of times whilst on holiday great service everytime amazing food. Also great to be able to bring our dogs and look out over the beach.

What a fantastic place to eat, everything is fresh, the staff are lovely, a dog friendly place too!

Our one year old enjoyed the scampi, the dogs and the waiter was brilliant with them.

Price is reasonable I would say the portions are fantastic and the quality is amazing. The muscles were huge! The brownie dessert was out of this world. Parking is just down the way in the local park, it's about a 5 minute walk if that. Views out to the coast if you dine outside and a lovely comfortable area inside if you do not want to eat outside.

If you are in Bude this is one place to not miss!

I’ve been invited to a party at "Life's a Beach" in Bude, Cornwall and I must say, it was an absolute delight.
The location is absolutely stunning, situated right on the tip of Bude Beach with breathtaking views of the sea pool. We were lucky enough to experience a romantic sunset while we were there, which was a highlight of the trip.

The staff at "Life's a Beach" were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. They really added to the overall enjoyable experience. We were a big group celebrating a birthday and everyone had a great time.

I was also really impressed with the interior and architecture of the restaurant. It had a surfer village style which added to the laid-back, beachy atmosphere. All in all, I would highly recommend "Life's a Beach" to anyone visiting Bude, Cornwall. It's a must-see!

We didn't expect a beach restaurant with that view and location to be very special when it comes about food.

But it definitely was. Besides some fast food options they serve really well made seafood. We had the shrimp (with cheese fries) and a pot of mussels.

Both cooked to perfection, fresh and nicely spiced (and not over-spiced). Staff was friendly, food arrived fast - despite the place being packed.

Our English Bulldog was welcome in the outside area.

Great food, fair prices. Fantastic location. What else you need. A really good place to grab a bit, a beer - before or after visiting the beach.

Such a friendly bunch of people serving who seem to like each other and their customers. The fish and chips were freshly cooked and excellent. I had the chowder on our second visit which was very tasty served with a warm baguette. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a Cornish Cream Tea. Friendly staff, wonderful views, and excellent food.

Food - STUNNING! 5⭐ (Have the mussels)
Service - Incredibly welcoming
Atmosphere - Lovely 🙂

I don't leave reviews often but needed to with this place. I'm so happy we've found it half way through our break so we can come back before we go home! Thanks guys 👌🏼

Nice food and location , great views of the harbour. The specials were fresh tasting, innovative and reasonably priced. Like the use of hazelnuts with halibut and the truffle sauce with chowder. Will give these a go when cooking.

Our first visit to Bude and found Life's a Beach after a walk on the beach. We initially were just looking for a drink and then decided on a vegetarian breakfast. It was perfect and with perfectly cooked fried bread which we'd been reminiscing about only days earlier. Great views and such friendly service.

On a little holiday and decided to get some lunch at life a beach. Greeted with really friendly staff, the food was beyond delicious and had a really lovely ice coffee, no fault with anything 10/10 and really reasonably priced! Fish and chips was probably best I ever had too!

Great food and was a very busy little restaurant. Good atmosphere and staff were friendly.
Quick take away food which tasted great. The only thing that was annoying was the price as there was a few of us getting take away food.

beautiful large beach you can surf as much as you want because there are great waves and there are lifeguards all the time every day it is one of the most organized beaches the one in Bude has surfing schools you can sign up so it is quite popular but not crowded😍😍

Great location overlooking the beach. Relaxed casual restaurant with great food and cold beer, just what you need after a morning in the sun. Definitely worth a visit.

Went here for late lunch today for the first time. Lovely place, courteous serving staff and charming surroundings (also beautiful views over the sea). We were seated straight away, ordered and were eating very quickly. We had the burger of the day (homemade burger, bacon and cheese, salad) and also a chicken burger (actual chicken breast, bacon, hot sauce, salad) both with chips. They were AMAZING! They tasted wonderful and were so filling, we couldn't manage our chips (unheard of for me!). We agreed they were 2 of the best burgers we'd ever tasted. Mark the manager was very friendly and professional. The prices weren't horrible either. Thank you L.A.B, we will return! 🌟👍🏼

The cheese and bacon chips were delicious as was the kentucky chicken burger. Highly recommend the cold river cider. The views over the sea are stunning, albeit fairly windy being so close to the coast. Plenty of seating inside and out. The one thing I will say is the vegetarian menu could do with a few more options.

Idyllic location just above the beach at Bude. Lovely, reasonably priced seafood. A perfect way to unwind and watch the sunset after a long drive from Yorkshire!

Excellent fresh food, great service and location. Dog friendly as well, great evening here.

Great. Nice food. Well made. Nice service. Dog friendly, inside and out
