The village of Woolacombe is one of the most popular seaside resorts in North Devon. Situated along the coast, and with a 2.5 mile beach, visitors keep coming back year after year.
The beach and the surf are probably the biggest draws of Woolacombe, with the beach having Blue Flag and Premier Seaside Beach awards for the quality of water, the cleanliness of the beach and the facilities.
Both experienced and beginner surfers find the waves in Woolacombe great as they tend to be gentle when the tide is out and much rougher when the tide is in. Beginners can rent out equipment from local hire companies and even get lessons if they are unsure on how to tackle the waves.
During the colder winter months, the village becomes very quiet, but during the summer months the population swells due to the many visitors. The area has plenty of accommodation for different types of tourists including hotels, B&Bs, holiday apartments, and holiday parks such as Woolacombe bay holiday park.
One of the villages most loved attractions is the crazy golf course that features famous North Devon landmarks around the holes. These small model buildings are all constructed from different types of stone that are found in the area.
The village itself has plenty of places to eat, with many people finding the local offerings a breath of fresh air. There are no corporate establishments like McDonalds that we tend to find in most towns and cities. The Red Barn is a great place to visit if you are looking for a few drinks and a meal in a friendly environment.
Woolacombe is a great central location for anyone who wants to visit other places in North Devon. With villages and towns like Croyde, Braunton, Ilfracombe and Barnstaple only a short drive away, you will never be short of things to do during your stay.
