A
very forgiving beach break, excellent for beginers. North end
of the beach being most popular, when clean this beach can produce
some classic waves. Popular with canoists, can get very crowded.
Richard Hollinrake, Reading
It has hollow barrels on the beach breaks and is always the
best spot in the bay for spongers. Sometimes you get caught
in the close outs but it is always fun and heavy. Definitely
worth a go at high tide. Hazards include getting drilled into
the sand on big swells.
Ben, Paignton
Woolacombe is an excellent all round beach. Regular surf comps
are held here aswell as surf schools. This is is one of north
devons HOT spots, check out www.woolacombe-boardriders.com
