How to spend a long weekend at Woolacombe

Planning a long weekend in the seaside village of Woolacombe in beautiful North Devon? Here’s an idea of the amazing things you could get up to on your visit, even if you’re just in the area for a couple of days.

1. Check out the beach

Once you're settled into our accommodation it’s time to explore your surroundings, and what better way to start than Britain's best beach; Woolacombe Bay. This beautiful three-mile stretch of sand is the perfect place to kick off your weekend getaway and is within walking distance from all three of our holiday parks. The beach has endless fun activities for everyone, but first why not start by getting ice cream from the many kiosks on the beach and watching the surfers. Once you finish soaking up the view the beach has endless exciting activities. You could go for a thrill in the theme park located right on the seafront. Or, with the beach having some of the best waves in the country, you could go for a swim or surf in the sea.

4. Sunday breakfast in the sun

Day two of your long weekend in Devon is going to be a busy one, so why not start by getting fueled up for the day with a cooked breakfast in the café. Not only will you be able to enjoy delicious food and drink here but can also soak in the sea view on our terrace.

5. Explore Woolacombe village

You will want to set aside an hour or two of your Woolacombe weekend to enjoy a stroll around the village itself. With beautiful views over the water, Woolacombe village has a welcoming collection of shops to explore as well as plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs if you fancy stopping for a drink or a traditional fish and chips overlooking the sea. From the village there are plenty of walks to enjoy, but we’re sure you will find yourself drawn back down to the beach before long.

5. Holiday park activities

Why not spend the rest of your Sunday taking part in some of the fun activities available at our holiday parks in Woolacombe. If you fancy doing something unusual. So how about golf using frisbees? Disc golf is easy to pick up and fun for all ages, a perfect social game! It also gives you a better chance to explore your surroundings and find out what your Devon holiday park in Woolacombe has to offer.

Or, if you’ve got a head for hights, it's time to get the adrenaline pumping on the Park's very own climbing wall! This wall is suitable for all abilities and ages. Work your way along the coloured holds starting with the easiest climbs and finishing by testing your strength and skills on the smallest holds. Climbing is a full-body workout so expect to feel exhausted after this.

7. Head to the cinema

Once you've finished your day outdoors with disc golf and rock climbing you're sure to be exhausted. So what better way to wind down after a day of exhausting activities than to take a break from reality in the Park's very own cinema! The cinema is small enough to give an intimate viewing experience with its surround sound and comfy seats. All of the latest Hollywood blockbuster films will be shown here so you'll have no shortage of incredible films to keep you entertained.

8. Take an end-of-holiday stroll

On the final day of your mini break, it's time to take it easy and reflect on a lovely weekend away in the pretty seaside village of Woolacombe. So what better way than to take a stroll down to the beach and take in the beautiful North Devon surroundings for one last time. There are plenty of beautiful walks in the Woolacombe area that show off the dramatic coastal scenery - but the easiest (and perhaps most enticing) is simply to walk the sandy expanse of Woolacombe Bay itself, which goes on for nearly three miles. Maybe this is a chance to go for one last ice cream before you head back to the real world, or maybe you want to make a sandcastle before you hit the road.
