In addition to building sandcastles, bathing and enjoying seaside strolls, why not get involved in other great activities too. You'll find plenty of opportunities to test your skills at surfing, kayaking and coasteering. Lifeguards are on hand to keep you safe and surfers are well catered for with great waves and clean water.

Woolacombe Surf Centre offers surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons and rentals, as does Hunter Surf School.

A little further along the coast, the pretty Barricane Beach is a great place to check out rockpools and there is a delicious café there too. The many pubs and restaurants within Woolacombe itself are also a haven for tired beachgoers and sightseers, serving up a selection of brilliant local ales and culinary treats.

Animal lovers will enjoy a trip to the wonderful Borough Farm. This family friendly attraction has sheepdog and falconry displays, fun farmyard shows and shepherding experience walks which will delight young and old alike, all set on a working farm with over 600 sheep and 50 cattle.
