"The first Breakwater was constructed in 1819 to protect the Bude Canal, but was destroyed by a storm in 1838. The present structure dates from 1839-43, and was build by George Casebourne, engineer to the Bude Harbour & Canal Company. The low wall with its sloping seaward side stands only 4 ft above the high water mark of Spring tides.
Barrel Rock stretches out to sea and is so called after its beacon, a barrel supported on a metal pole. This is used to guide shipping around this dangerous rock."
