Devon beach named the best in Britain by TripAdvisor for the second year!
(and if you go now you’ll probably have it all to yourself!)
TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards has named the breathtaking Woolacombe Britain’s best beach.
This glorious beach is a spectacular gem right on our doorstep, and is attracting visitors all year round.Woolacombe Britain’s best beach in Devon is the number one in the UK, for a second year in a row.
The quieter, and some might say even more beautiful, Putsborough Sands is located at the far end of the beach.
Backed by sandy hills and the Woolacombe Downs, the beach boasts a three-mile long stretch of golden sand and rolling, unbroken surf which makes it the ideal hotspot for surfers. The sheer length of the beach means that there is no shortage of sand to sit down and relax on during the busy summer months.
