Beautiful beach with high cliffs, good for surfing.

Parking: Plenty of parking nearby, not cheap in high season.

Refreshment: Lots of places for food and drink in croyde, walkable from beach.

Croyde beach is set in a wide sandy bay between Woolacombe and Saunton Sands beaches.  Croyde is one of North Devon’s most popular beaches - and with good reason. Not only is this one of the prettiest spots along the coast it also arguably some of the best surf.

Croyde bay sits between two headlands, which offer some protection from the wind. To the rear are sand dunes, and beyond, the rolling green hills of the Devon countryside. Despite being just on the other side of Baggy Point from Woolacombe beach Croyde has a much less developed laid back feel to it.

With a seasonal lifeguard service and a fair range of facilities on the beach Croyde appeals to all types, from families to hardcore surfer types.
