Things to do on a Woolacombe cottage holiday
Woolacombe’s biggest draw is its pristine beach. This three-mile strip of gorgeous sandy coastline is a popular spot for surfers and water sports enthusiasts. Like other resorts on the South Coast, Woolacombe is visited by surfers all year round. If you’re into surfing – or looking to hire a board and give it a go – Woolacombe Surf Centre is definitely worth stopping by.
While you could spend your holiday riding the waves, Woolacombe has plenty more going on out of the water too, making it a great choice for a family holiday. The whole region boasts some stunning natural landmarks, for instance, you could head out by boat to Lundy Island, a dramatic spot inhabited by all sorts of wildlife, including grey seals that you can see all year round.
Woolacombe and the surrounding area offers tourist attractions galore, including Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and Borough Farm, where you can catch a falconry show. For thrill-seekers who get bored of ‘hanging ten,’ there’s the Milky Way Adventure Park, full of white-knuckle rides and located in the nearby town of Bideford.
Be free to enjoy your next holiday on your own terms, choose a cottage in idyllic Woolacombe and make some great memories. Whether you’re looking for pet-friendly accommodation or perhaps something with a pool, you’re bound to find the perfect property.
