Croyde Beach
Croyde Beach lies nestled between the craggy headlands of Baggy Point and Saunton Down. With more than half a mile of fine sands and extensive dunes this beach is understandably popular with families. One of the most celebrated surf beaches in the South West the high dramatic waves make this a surfers paradise. There is a surf school and a well stocked surf shop on the beach and for real thrill seekers the extreme academy sports school is open throughout the summer offering exciting activities such as kite surfing and mountain boarding. For those who prefer a slower pace there is always the inviting beach bar where you can sit back and delight in the magnificent surroundings.
