Visit Nearby Woolacombe

With its award-winning three-mile stretch of beach nestled between Morte Point and Baggy Point, a trip to Woolacombe is well worth the eight-mile drive, especially for surfer types. The beach is also a family favourite, thanks to its cleanliness, water quality and facilities, and life guards are also on duty during the summer months. No wonder it was voted Best British Beach on TripAdvisor.

Step away from the beach and you’ll find a lively town with elegant Regency architecture, great pubs and restaurants, and a chilled, easy-going atmosphere. It’s why Woolacombe holds the England for Excellence Gold Award for best family resort.
