Woolacombe Bay FAQs

Perfect for families after a lovely holiday with the choice of sea view accommodation, Woolacombe Bay is a self-catering Devon seaside holiday park and out of our three holiday parks, is the closest direct walk to the sea. Bursting with action, you can keep everyone entertained with outdoor waterslides, swimming pools, water sports and live entertainment, while still enjoying peaceful spots across the park to unwind and relax. For ultimate downtime, escape to the spa thermal suite and soak up the calmer side of your holiday.

This holiday park is very hilly with inclines to all areas and it is a steep walk down to the beach. The main facilities are toward the lower end of the site with all caravan and lodge accommodation uphill from this area. The Surf Village area is terraced with mainly flat areas on each level but within it are steep hills. Woolacombe Bay has a mixture of grass, gravel and concrete paths.

Woolacombe Bay is our nearest holiday park to the beach. The closest walk to the beach takes around 15 minutes, but it's steep and not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to stiles on the path. An alternative is walking along Sandy Lane with a pushchair or wheelchair, but be cautious of vehicles. By car it's about 5 minutes (0.8 miles) via a narrow single-track lane with high hedges, sharp bends and occasional passing places, so for a much more comfortable drive stay on main roads for a 9-minute trip (3.4 miles).

Well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout the outdoor areas of the holiday park, including designated pet-friendly areas of The Bait Ball Bar & Restaurant, as well as the outdoor sea view terrace. Although dogs on leads are warmly welcome in most outdoor areas of Woolacombe Bay, there may be a few small areas they can't go which will be clearly signed and they're not allowed inside the outdoor pool area. Pets are not permitted in all swimming pool and spa areas, amusements arcade, entertainment venue, cinema, pottery painting studio, and convenience store.

Woolacombe Bay is not best suited to wheelchair users and those with walking or other mobility difficulties as the holiday park is on the side of a steep hillside. We advise guests with mobility challenges to book accommodation located in Surf Village which includes Sapphire and Diamond caravans as well as all lodges, whilst this area is not flat there is parking next to each accommodation and easier access although there will be several steps with a handrail; please note this area is not suited to wheelchair users or those with walking difficulties who do not have transport to the main complex as the terrain is very steep. The main facilities have level and ramped access with the reception, amusement arcade, cinema, pottery painting studio and all-day café bar restaurant on the ground floor, and there is a lift to the indoor pool on the lower ground floor and entertainment lounge venue on the first floor. The spa, shop, launderette and outdoor pool all have ramped access.

Surf Village is a spacious layout with open grassy areas in a coastal style setting tucked away in a sheltered part of the Park and with fewer caravans and lodges than in other areas of the holiday parks. You still have all the premium facilities and activities on hand but arrive at Surf Village and you'll immediately notice lots more space around the small clusters of caravans and extra wide lodges, more trees and open grassy areas, and no through traffic. Come home to whole other level luxury!

If you book any of our Sapphire or Diamond caravans or any of luxury lodges, you will be guaranteed to be in Surf Village.

There are 2 x 22Kw electric vehicle charging points at Woolacombe Bay available in the main car park.

If you are staying in a lodge, there is a dedicated EV charger at your designated parking bay which is complementary for you to use during your stay.

Please do not use the electricity supply from your accommodation to charge your electric vehicle. The electrical circuits are typically rated at 16 amps, which is insufficient and unsafe for EV charging. Attempting to charge your vehicle via your accommodation’s mains connection, a practice sometimes called “granny charging,” is strictly prohibited. This can overload the electrical system and cause damage or safety hazards to the power supply, your charger or vehicle. To ensure safety and reliable charging, please use the designated EV charging points provided on-site.

All our EV charging points are un-tethered so you will need your own Type 2 cable to plug into the charging bollard. This type of cable is supplied with most electric cars by the dealer. We do not have cables available for loan or hire. You'll need a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card to make payment through the app, unless you are staying in a lodge with your own charging point. Simply follow the instructions on screen which will show you the current prevailing Kw cost and pay for your electric vehicle charge.
