Beaches don't come any bigger than this – Woolacombe's sands stretch beyond the horizon in a perfect yellow arc. Surfing is the main activity here and this bay is a great place to learn, with consistent swell and a gently shelving beach. The town has a classic seaside feel, with ice cream parlours, surf shops and cafes serving fresh local seafood. There's an unhurried pace of life here that just begs you to unwind.
A lovely little seaside village with quintessential narrow streets, houses in pastel hues and a Quay to sit and eat your local fish and chips on. Tea shops and bistros, small boutiques and fishermen's fare - take delight in everything Devonshire as you breathe in the clean, fresh sea air. There's even the Appledore Book Festival thanks to the association with A. A. Milne.
The village of Braunton sits perfectly between Branstaple and the fabulous surfing beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe. This pretty village has lots to offer including a good selection of restaurants, inns, cafes and the obligatory surf shacks. There's even a surf museum to visit!
Located where the rivers Taw and Torridge combine and flow into the sea, Instow is a pretty waterside village and perfect for a spot for sailing or windsurfing, and for families to take advantage of the sheltered sandy beaches.
Located just a mile away from the golden sands of award-winning Woolacombe beach, Mortehoe is a charming, quiet village with easy access to Grunte and Barricane beaches.
The little sister to Braunton and a great place to stop off on your way along the South West Coast Path, particularly for the famous Saunton Sands on the Taw-Torridge estuary. An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the views from the surrounding rugged clifftops are second to none.
