Woolacombe & Mortehoe

Between Braunton and Ilfracombe lie some of Europe"s finest and cleanest beaches, ideal for both families with children, and watersports enthusiasts.

The village of Woolacombe can be found along this spectacular golden coastline of soft sandy beaches, flanked by the dramatic headlands of Baggy Point and Morte Point.

Woolacombe"s popularity has never been greater and was voted "Family Holiday of the Year 1999" by the English Tourism Council, the nomination having been suggested by a regular holiday maker. As the resort has also achieved both the Blue Flag and Premier Beach Seaside Award for it"s attractive sandy beach, Woolacombe is truly a resort of excellence and an ideal base for a family holiday.

Almost three miles of golden sands stretch from Putsborough in the south to Woolacombe village itself, offering plenty of space for everybody. Bathing is particularly safe in the shallow waters which are patrolled by lifeguards during the main summer season.
