Woolacombe is a seaside resort on the coast of North Devon, England, which lies at the mouth of a valley (or 'combe') in the parish of Mortehoe. The beach is 3 miles long, sandy, gently sloping and faces the Atlantic Ocean near the western limit of the Bristol Channel.
Woolacombe is a popular destination for surfing and family holidays and is part of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The beach has been managed by Parkin Estates Ltd since the 1970s and has over the years continuously been recognised as one of the best beaches in Europe. It won the title of Britain's Best Beach in the "Coast Magazine Awards 2012" and was awarded the same prize of Britain's Best Beach in 2015 by TripAdvisor, also ranking in their polls as 4th in Europe and 13th best in the world. The beach water quality is monitored regularly by the Environment Agency and was rated excellent from 2016 to 2020.
The winter population is small (around 1,000), but during the summer large numbers of people come to the village for their holidays, including for surfing. There are many hotels, holiday flats, holiday parks, campsites and bed and breakfast establishments, and most of the entertainment opportunities are aimed at tourists. The village is served by a local independent pharmacy and a satellite doctors surgery. There is a crazy golf course in the centre of the village, which formerly featured North Devon landmarks for the holes, with model buildings constructed from the various types of stone found in the local area, and was rebuilt as a pirate-themed crazy golf course in 2010.
The South West Coast Path runs through the village, with access to the North Devon coast, including the walk out to and around Morte Point. There are several establishments in the area that provide pony trekking, and riding along Woolacombe Sands.
Woolacombe lies within the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is renowned for its dramatic coastal cliffs and landscape. Due to Atlantic waves, the swell is at somewhat large and very clean making it a great benefit for surfing.
Across from the beach, there are views of Lundy Island. Woolacombe has low cliffs at either end of the beach which are home to the rare maritime heathland as well as sand dunes behind the beach. Much of the countryside close to the village is owned and cared for by the National Trust. The coast itself is part of the North Devon Voluntary Marine Conservation Area because of its diverse and rare species.
During the Second World War, the U.S. Army Assault Training Centre was based at Woolacombe, where thousands of small boat crews and infantry practised amphibious landing assaults on the beach in preparation for the Invasion of Normandy, part of Operation Overlord. The long flat shape of the beach and the conditions of the hinterland were considered to closely resemble the Omaha Beach landing area.

Lovely video 👍 North Devon is now very busy, certainly not so quiet and peaceful in summer these days. It's a great place. However, villages are selling out to second homes and AIRBnB, and High Streets are mainly second homes standing empty so there's no money about in winter.
My favourite place on earth. Full of happy memories. Thank you for a lovely video😎

The Woolacombe Bay Hotel is a great place to stay, very friendly staff. Surfers are often seen and protection is by RNLI beach lifesavers. If you have a dog, go up South Street and visit Koola Life if you have forgotten anything.
Thanks for watching and commenting :) would love to stay in the Woolacombe Bay Hotel :)

Olá, que bom vídeo novo.
Lugar lindo,...Mara de MARAVILHOSO.
Thanks very much for watching :)
Fantastic video. Will be back down in Woolacombe in a little over 3 weeks. Hope the weather is similar to this 🙏. My wife and I are arguing about what time of year this was filmed?
Thanks very much. This was filmed in May 😎
Discovered 'Woolly' during the heatwave of '76, I like to go back to make sure it's still there. 😁 What month was this?
Thanks for watching. This was May 2021 😊
I used to live there I'm trying to work out the time of year.. People ask me my favorite place in the world.. North Devon.
Thanks for watching. This was filmed in May. I can see why, North Devon has a fantastic coastline with incredible beaches such as Woolacombe.
26:21 I see you're using steadicam, if not a secret what exactly?
Lovely tour, but I swear that all of these names are just random collections of scrabble letters someone pulled when naming the towns there...
Thanks very much :) 'Combe' is derived from an old English word meaning valley. There are lots of places in England with 'combe' in their name :)
@@TVJourneys And I'm sure "Woola" comes from all the sheep in the surroundings ;D Nah, jk. Thanks, that's actually really interesting!
Ha ha yes, no idea where the 'woola' comes from :)
What time of year was this?
Thanks for watching. This was filmed early May.
Thanks so much - loved it - I’ve lots of memories there. I live in Australia but now heading back to the UK after 17 years. Can’t wait to visit all these videos you’ve done. Missed it so much!
So pleased you enjoyed the video. Wow, 17 years, that's a long time! Have a fantastic time when you come back to the UK!
Putsbough is much better ❤️
