Croyde Beach
One of the best in the UK, Croyde is an award-winning beach boasting excellent water quality and a huge expanse of soft, golden sand. Bathing and surfing are watched over by RNLI lifeguards throughout the summer months making this a very safe place the whole family can enjoy. A freshwater stream finds its way onto the beach centre, making this ideal for very young children to enjoy splashing, paddling and dam-making before they progress to the sea. There’s also the sand dunes for climbing to enjoy the far reaching views, rock pools to explore and volleyball nets available to hire. Food and drink outlets and public conveniences are at both the north and south entrances to the beach, with ice creams and refreshments served on the beach itself in high summer.
Surfing & Bodyboarding
Croyde has been popular with surfers since the sport began in Britain. Its clean, accessible beach, excellent waves at all stages of the tide make it one of the UK’s best surfing and bodyboarding spots and home to numerous competitions throughout the year. There are a range of surf schools within minutes of the beach, providing everything you need and covering every level, from total beginner to advanced.
