About This Place

Woolacombe Beach, is quite possibly the finest on the north Devon coast. A two and a quarter mile stretch of golden sand backed by dunes and rolling hills, this beach is popular with surfers and families alike. But no matter the time of year, there's always plenty of room to spread out. The village of Woolacombe lies at the northern end of the beach, where you will find seaside shops, cafes and places to stay.

💡 Our Take

Nestled in the heart of Devon, Woolacombe Beach is a haven for dog lovers. Its extensive sandy stretch provides plenty of space for pups to frolic freely year-round. With dedicated dog-friendly zones, it's ideal for both playful puppies and adult dogs needing a good run. Strategically placed parking ensures easy access, while nearby facilities offer convenience after a sun-soaked play session. The sea is generally safe for canine swims, but keep an eye on tide times. Perfect for big dogs needing space, and anxious ones benefiting from off-peak tranquility, Woolacombe is a bark above the rest. Tip: Parking can fill up quickly during peak seasons.
