The beach is loved by many, but it's so spacious that it never feels crowded. There's always something exciting to do, so you can spend the whole day here and still have plenty left to see the next day too. The beauty of Woolacombe Beach is that there's a perfect sandy spot for everyone. Between Baggy Point and Morte Point, you can discover tranquil hideaways in addition to the popular beach areas.
Where is Woolacombe Beach?
Woolacombe Beach is a beautiful sandy expanse on the North Devon coast. Situated between the surfing haven of Croyde Bay and the bustling harbour town of Ilfracombe and just a short, 20-minute drive from Manleigh Park, it's perfectly suited for a day trip whilst on holiday in North Devon.

Parking at Woolacombe Beach
Looking for a parking space? We've got you covered! With thousands of spaces available, you're sure to find the perfect spot. For a quick visit, why not park along the Esplanade, in one of the council owned spots? If you're planning to spend a whole day at the beach, have the family in tow, plus a boot full of beach paraphernalia, make a beeline for the car parks at The Esplanade or Sandy Burrows. They give direct access to the beach, offer both short and long stay options and have toilets and accessible parking spaces available. If a walk along the dunes is on your agenda, seek out the Marine Drive car park which will give you direct access to the grass fringed dunes and a café for post walk refreshments.

The Beaches of Woolacombe
This three mile stretch of sand is made up of different sections with a couple of serene coves tucked in, so finding the ideal spot for your beach plans should be easy at Woolacombe Beach. Puttsborough beach at the South end and Woolacombe beach at the North are the most visited spots, thanks to their convenient access from large parking areas. If you want to claim a bit more space on the sand, take a stroll through the dunes to find Middle Beach, a typically less crowded area. For added seclusion visit one of the smaller coves at the Northern end of the beach opposite the Esplanade. Barricane Beach is one of the most picturesque. Accessed by a steep path it has crystal clear water, rockpools to explore and is a wonderful sunset spot. For the adventurers amongst you, low tide reveals Grunta cove with rock pools ready to explore.
