Location
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 expierienced 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.

Directions to find:
From Braunton: At the crossroad traffic lights in the centre of Braunton, continue straight along the A361 and follow this road until the Mullacott roundabout. At the roundabout take the 1st exit. Continue towards the centre of Woolacombe, down to the bottom of the hill and turn right onto Sandy Lane opposite the Red Barn pub/restaurant. Travel up this road for approximately 70 meters and the Ocean Point Apartments can be found on the left-hand side.
