Location:
The South West Coast Path runs just behind the apartment block with the walk to Woolacombe offering stunning beach views as it passes behind the beach along Marine Drive where the extremely popular Porthole National Trust cafe can be found. To the south the coast path leads out onto Baggy Point (where grey seals are regularly sighted) and heads around/or over the National Trust ground to Croyde.

The North Devon coastline was designated a World Surfing Reserve last year and will join California's Malibu and Santa Cruise and Australia's Golden Coast and Manly as some the world's best locations to go surfing. The award-winning Woolacombe Beach is widely recognised as one of the best beaches in the UK. Located on the North Devon coast, between Croyde and Ilfracombe, the 3-mile sandy beach is popular with surfers and families looking for a traditional seaside experience.

One visit here and you can easily see why. Not just because of its beautiful coastline and being a surfers paradise but also its easy access to the wonderful National Trust land, with coastal walks and the other surfing beaches of Putsborough (at the other end of Woolacombe’s surfing beach), Croyde and Saunton all within easy reach.

There is an interesting choice of shops, bars and restaurants in the village. Woolacombe is ideally positioned for investigating the surrounding coast and countryside – from the wild splendour of Exmoor to the natural wonders of Lundy Island, or the charm of the nearby villages of Mortehoe and Croyde.

There are many golf courses nearby for keen golfers, a 9m hole course at Mortehoe, 18 holes at Ilfracombe and the more experienced might like to take on the more challenging championship links courses at Saunton which is just twenty minutes away by car.

The regional centre of Barnstaple offers top high street names and independent stores/boutiques. There is also a leisure centre and indoor tennis centres, a branch line railway station and regional hospital. The A361 gives access to the M5 at Tiverton.
