Woolacombe Sand

North Devon

4/5

Based on 1 review

This stunning beach has extensive dunes and three miles of flat, wide sand. Even on the busiest days, if you're happy to take a stroll along the beach, you'll find a quiet spot. Popular with kayakers, swimmers and surfers, this beach has life guard cover during high season and dog restrictions apply.

Great for surf

A huge expanse of sand at low tide and from the beach you cannot see the buildings behind. Good surf but not as clear water as further west.
