The north Devon coastline is blessed with many fine beaches to suit all tastes. There are long sweeping sandy bays of golden sand, enclosed by rocky headlands and backed by extensive sand dunes. The Atlantic rollers find favour with serious surfers and aspiring 'boogie' boarders alike. Children take delight in sand castle building and splashing about in paddling pools of their own creation.

Resort beaches offer many of the traditional seaside amusements and facilities, whilst smaller rocky coves nestling at the bottom of wooded valleys provide hours of exploration, or the ideal place for quiet reflection. Visitors to the picturesque villages can treat themselves to delicious cream teas and satisfying pub lunches as a reward after some lovely coastal walks. The table below gives basic details about many of the main beaches in north Devon, with links to pages with further information about many of the coastal towns and villages where they are situated.
