Woolacombe in General

Woolacombe is one of my favourite UK holiday destinations because of so many reasons. Firstly, the landscape is just beautiful and I loved driving through it. However, I didn't like how the roads are very narrow because it is quite stressful driving. It also takes a long time to get anywhere from Woolacombe because of the landscape which is quite annoying. Despite this Woolacombe itself has so much to offer. There are many beautiful resteraunts including the Red Barn which I felt were very well priced and you can get a bite to eat quite cheaply. The parking in the area is very expensive and I didn't like how you have to pay £6 just to go to the beach for a ...  Read the complete review

Recently I enjoyed a rather rainy holiday in Devon, and on the only sunny day we got we headed down to Woolacombe (a small beach town situated on the North coast of Devon, not far from Ilfracombe). The beach there is absolutely brilliant, with miles of sand and ice cream vans and bouncy castles for children, and everything you can hope for in an English beach. The waves are some of the best for surfing and body boarding I have seen, and the actual surfing is excellent. What's great about Woolacombe is, of course the surfing and vast sandy beach, but also parking is so easy as there's parking all along the sand dunes and in the town, and cafes are only a very short walk ...  Read the complete review

Woolacombe is a small village sited near the sea on the North Devon Coast. From the nearest big town, Barnstaple it takes 1/2 an hour to drive there, although during the summer and school holidays expect this to take significantly longer due to heavy traffic. First buses run the No 303 from Barnstaple, through Braunston to Woolacombe, check their website for a timetable. Parking at Woolacombe can be difficult during the summer period but there is parking right by the beach and also on a grass field 1-200m down the road. The single largest attraction of Woolacombe is the fantastic beach, which in my opinion is one of the best in the country (and from my ...  Read the complete review

Woolacombe, say that name and it conjours up happy childhood memories of sun, sand, surfing, smelly tents, thunderstorms ans spending all my 2p's in the arcade! Situated in North Devon Woolacombe is the perfect summer hoilday destination for everyone. It has so much to offer! The Beach itself has won several awards, given blue flag status to show it is a clean and safe beach and one of the few in Britian to achieve this. The beach runs for 2 miles from Morte Point to Baggy point. Large sand dunes run for much of the lenth of the 2 miles, and I have happy memories of running down them as a kid. Woolacombe is one of the best places in the UK for ...  Read the complete review

Woolacombe is a seaside paradise in North Devon. It can be reached by leaving the M5 at junction 27, then following the A361 towards Ilfracombe. Pass through Braunton and then turn left at the Mullacott Cross to Woolacombe. I have visited Woolacombe many times in the past thirty years and have recently spent another enjoyable holiday there. The seaside, although a haven for water sports and surfing, is still a relatively quiet location, and is not overly commercialised. There are two shops on the main entrance to the beach, one a normal gift shop, selling a range of flip flops, beach equipment and clothing, and the other selling food and drink. ...  Read the complete review
