Visitor Guide to Woolacombe

Pack your bags and head to wonderful Woolacombe for an adventure to remember. Spend days basking on the main three-mile stretch of sand or dive in for a surf, stand up paddle board or a kayak around the rugged coastline and take in the spectacular scenery whilst walking in Woolacombe. During summer months, RNLI lifeguards patrol the beach and are on hand to answer any questions you might have about tide times and currents so you can enjoy the water safely.

When lunch time arrives, tuck into a picnic and hunt down one of the quieter, more secluded coves for a relaxing bite to eat or grab something tasty in one of the many cafes, delis, pubs or restaurants which line the streets and boast sea views. With full tummies, make your way to the local pirate-themed family attraction where crazy golf, go karting and bumper cars are amongst a handful of activities in Woolacombe to keep holidaymakers, both young and old, entertained for the afternoon. Should you need to stock the cupboards with picnic worthy goods, find treats to sizzle on the BBQ or fill the car with petrol then the village has everything you need to ensure your trip runs smoothly with plenty of shops, a petrol station and parking all easily accessible. Woolacombe is one of the best places to go for a holiday in North Devon and we can wait for you to understand why.
