1. Woolacombe Sands
Woolacombe boasts some of the best stretches of beach in the UK, and it’s easy to see why so many people keep returning to this slice of seaside paradise.
Surfers and sunbathers can’t get enough of the wide, sweeping sands and clear-water waves. While rock pools and clean white dunes will draw in the little ones for a full day of exploring. And the romantic-minded will want the gold-and-pink sunsets to go on forever.
There’s even a lighthouse on nearby Lundy Island that you can visit by boat. And look out for Woolly Bear out and about on the beach…
2. Mortehoe Museum
A look back at maritime history, the Mortehoe tells the story of coastal towns, from local shipwrecks to the tourism industry and everything in between.
It’s an easy snapshot of the area, ideal for when the sun gets too hot. Well worth a visit.
3. Bar Electric
With all this sand-castle building, rock-pool scouring and sunning yourself, you’ll need a bite to eat and something to drink – which is where Bar Electric comes in.
Dog-friendly, with an outdoor seating area and live bands on weekends, Bar Electric is a friendly venue frequented by visitors and locals alike. Kids will love the menu as much as you do, with home-made classics like nachos and pizza snapped up quickly.
4. Hunter Surf School
Surf’s up at Hunter Surf School where the whole family can learn to ride the waves (after more than a few wipeouts!).
With fantastic teachers and one-to-one tutoring that actually helps you get to grips with the small details of surfing, you’ll get your money’s worth and feel confident in the surf.
So if all of this sounds like your kind of holiday, why not check out a Travelodge near Woolacombe and book your summer holiday today?
