Stretching from the cliffs around Lynton and Lynmouth to the sandy sweeps of Westward Ho!, this part of the world offers something for every kind of seaside daydreamer. Think rugged headlands, surf-friendly beaches, hidden coves and old fishing villages that still smell faintly of salt and seaweed in the best possible way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your idea of a great British break involves windswept walks, cream teas with a view, and the odd seal sighting, then the North Devon coast should be high on your list.

You\u2019ll see that the region loosely runs from the Exmoor border down past Barnstaple, wrapping around the Atlantic edge of the county.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Towns like Ilfracombe, Combe Martin, and Appledore dot the shoreline. Ilfracombe offers Victorian charm and a busy harbour, while Appledore delivers pastel-painted cottages and estuary views. Lynmouth and Lynton, perched where the cliffs meet the sea, offer more dramatic landscapes, and Westward Ho! (yes, exclamation mark included) serves up a wide, family-friendly beach.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So whether you\u2019re looking for surf, seafood, or scenic strolls, the Devon North coast is happy to oblige.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Did you know?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The name \u201cWestward Ho!\u201d Comes from the 1855 novel by British author Charles Kingsley.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34c041b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34c041b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6db2919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-google_maps\" data-id=\"6db2919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"google_maps.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=north%20devon&#038;t=m&#038;z=9&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"north devon\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\"north devon\"\n\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af96ae0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"af96ae0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72e79d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72e79d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Popular Beaches and Nature Spots\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41c3c33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"41c3c33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Coast North Devon is famous for, well, its golden beaches. You\u2019ve probably heard of Woolacombe, a multi-award-winning beach that lives up to the hype. It\u2019s long, sandy, and has space for just about everything: sunbathing, swimming, dog walking, and even sandcastle competitions if you\u2019re feeling nostalgic. There\u2019s a classic British seaside atmosphere too, perfect if you like your beach days with a side of ice cream or a chip butty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Croyde Bay is a smaller, more rugged spot beloved by surfers and those who prefer their coastlines with a bit more going on. The waves here are excellent for all levels, and the coastal path above offers panoramic views if you fancy a short clifftop walk before hitting the pub.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there\u2019s Saunton Sands, a dream for paddleboarders and families with its gentler surf and seemingly endless dunes. It\u2019s backed by Braunton Burrows, one of the largest dune systems in the UK and part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nature lovers should veer off the sand and head to the Valley of Rocks, near Lynton. It\u2019s not technically a beach, but the wild goats, jagged rocks and sweeping sea views make it one of the most striking places along the North Devon coast.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc34748 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dc34748\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1249\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Saunton-Sands-north-devon.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1342\" alt=\"Saunton-Sands-north-devon.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Saunton-Sands-north-devon.jpg 1249w, https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Saunton-Sands-north-devon-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Saunton-Sands-north-devon-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fresh-escapes.com\/periodical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Saunton-Sands-north-devon-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1249px) 100vw, 1249px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Saunton Sands <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d1f7e6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8d1f7e6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7432bf8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7432bf8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Outdoor Activities and Attractions\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea33e42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea33e42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the North Devon coast really earns its stripes.

You can rent gear or take a lesson if you&#8217;re new to it. If you prefer something a little gentler, kayaking around Combe Martin is a lovely way to see the coastline from sea level.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boat trips, sea fishing, coasteering, and stand-up paddleboarding are all easy to organise along this stretch. Inland, you\u2019ll also find attractions like Arlington Court and the Lynton &amp; Lynmouth Cliff Railway. It\u2019s a great activity for families with young kids, or just those who are young at heart.

Summer is, unsurprisingly, the busiest and sunniest. Expect more events, open caf\u00e9s, and bustling beaches. Spring and early autumn, however, are quieter and still beautiful, especially for walkers and nature fans.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re keen to explore the North Devon coast map in a more relaxed way, visiting midweek outside of the school holidays can give you the space to breathe and take in the sights without the crowds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pack for unpredictability\u2014this is Devon, after all.
