Editor's Notes
Widemouth Bay (Cornish: Porth an Men) is a bay, beach and small village on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is about 3 miles (5 km) south of Bude. This stretch of coast is steeped in smuggling history from previous centuries, and not far south of Widemouth Bay can be found many little inlets and coves.
