On Golden Sands

Play in the surf and sand at Woolacombe Bay's amazing Blue Flag Beach. Our beautiful beach has been awarded the Blue Flag and Premier Seaside Beach awards year-on-year for its cleanliness and water quality.

Everyone's ideal beach

The Blue Flag standard is only given to those beaches with the highest quality bathing water, good management, cleanliness and safety. Speedboats and jet skis are prohibited, thereby offering superb facilities for swimming, surfing, windsurfing, sailing and sea canoeing. Woolacombe beach is also a popular venue for the exciting new sport of kite surfing.  Find out more about other North Devon beaches in our beach guide.
