Of course a trip to North Devon would not be complete without visiting one of its beautiful beaches. Whether you sunbathe on the golden sands of an award-winning beach or go rock pooling at one of the smaller, hidden away coves. There really are no better places to make memories. The large beaches such as Westward Ho!, Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton are popular for water sports and have lifeguards on patrol in the main seasonal months. North Devon’s smaller & hidden beaches also provide plenty of fun for all the family no matter what the season. Dogs are also allowed on some of the North Devon Beaches, information, and details of these will need to be checked.
