Nestled between the Bagge and Morte Points peninsulas, the small seaside resort of Woolacombe lies on the coast of north of Devon in the southwestern region of England. This once largely agricultural/fishing village eventually became, and still is, a popular seaside resort and surfing location. Lush rolling hills and almost 4.8 kilometres (3 miles) of golden sandy beaches attract many to this idyllic destination. Nearby, located on rocky cliffs, lies the fishing village known as Mortehoe. The colourful history of this medieval town includes pirates and smuggling.
Activities and Attractions
Take leisurely strolls along the beach, lie in the sun, or learn how to surf. Local adventure companies not only provide a wide range of equipment, but offer instruction in rock climbing, kayaking and surfing. Local charter companies also offer fishing excursions, dolphin and seal watching, in addition to tours along the coast. Board a local sea going vessel and venture off to Lundy Island. Visitors take in the scenery and local wildlife while exploring the little island. Enjoy a refreshing beverage at the island tavern before returning to shore.
Whether journeying along the beach or up into the hills, Woolacombe has many picturesque walking and biking paths, or enjoy trekking on the back of a pony. Trek up to Morehoe village, explore the medieval architecture, and hear the tales of old involving the town's infamous background.
In the heart of Woolacombe lies a crazy golf course providing fun for the entire family. The holiday park also offers a selection of arcade games, shops and live entertainment venues for children and adults.
