Devon Hideaways: Luxury & Glamping
Golden Sands, Hidden Coves, and Rockpools Coasts to Ancient Moors
Woolacombe Beach
This is the big one. Three miles of golden sand that regularly wins “Best Beach in the UK” awards. It is massive enough that even in August, you can always find a spot to lay your towel. The waves are perfect for learning to surf, and the village right behind the dunes has plenty of places to grab a pasty or a pint.
-
Best For: Families, Surfers, and long walks.
-
Dog Friendly: Yes (restrictions apply in summer).
-
Parking: Two large car parks right next to the beach.
Bantham Beach
f you want the classic South Devon experience, this is it. Looking out towards Bigbury and Burgh Island, the water here is often clearer and calmer than the North coast, though it still holds a great wave for surfers. It’s backed by dunes and has a massive tidal range, revealing huge stretches of sand at low tide.
-
Best For: Families, Surfers, and views of Burgh Island.
-
Dog Friendly: Yes (River end only in summer).
-
Parking: Large paid car park (gets full by 11 AM in August).
