  • Family-run holiday park with stunning views over Woolacombe beach
  • Three-mile sandy beach 15 minutes' walk away along a footpath
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, restaurant and kids' activities on site
Sandy beach on your holiday wishlist? You got it. As the name suggests, Woolacombe Sands Holiday Park is in an excellent location for days on the sands of Woolacombe, on the north Devon coast. A path runs from the site to the beach, taking you down there in about 15-20 minutes without the need to get on the road. And what a beach this is, with three miles of gorgeous golden sand, rockpools to poke about in, and gentle waves for swimming and bodyboarding. Add in summer lifeguards to keep everyone safe and a regular beach cleaning routine and it’s easy to see why this has previously been voted Britain’s best beach. Being so close by, you’ll be able to wander down whenever you like – and you’ll still be able to look at it while you’re on site too, as the pitches are in an elevated position overlooking the sea. And what might you get up to while not at the beach? Well, this family-run park has been in operation for more than 30 years now, and over that time it’s developed a great list of ways to keep everyone happy while on site. The long list of leisure facilities includes indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an amusement arcade, UV bowling, crazy golf, a play park and a kids’ club with all sorts of fun activities (circus skills, painting and bug hunts among them). Keeping everyone fed is easy too – barbecues are allowed, and there’s a well-stocked shop on site, or you can grab a table at the Clubhouse for meals and drinks along with evening entertainment. Dogs are welcome at this park, with a pet wash area provided; human facilities are just as good, with five bathroom blocks and a launderette.

What customers say

Fantastic views, short stroll to the beach. Spotless facilities, friendly staff, pools and shop are winners. Hilly terrain and some noise noted; pitches and WiFi could be better.

Electric hardstanding pitch

Liked Nice clean site and ideal location to walk into Woolacombe via costal path.

Disliked Given a pitch that was heavily slopped requiring chocks that still weren’t sufficient, despite many level pitches being empty for the duration of our stay. Clubhouse is fantastic but beware the prices are expensive £8.50 for a pint of Guinness. I’ve felt so violated since I filled up with diesel ⛽️

Electric hardstanding pitch

Liked I didn’t attend as I had an accident on the way to the campsite

Disliked More flexibility. They gave me an hour to change my date to another time but as I was unable to provide so quickly, they cancelled my booking with no refund.

Liked Toll die Lösung einer kleinen Buchungsverschiebung. Leider mit Aufpreis. Super die Restauration und Bistrobereiche mit schönem Programm.
Sanitärbereich etwas zu wenig Ablagefläche und Haken. Ansonsten sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Electric hardstanding pitch

Liked What a lovely site. Spacious pitches with a great view of the sea. Moved to a slightly flatter pitch after first night with a wonderful sea view. The site was beautifully maintained and everyone very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!!!

Disliked Couldn’t get the park WiFi to work but that really didn’t matter at all. My mobile data saw us thru with good reception.

Local attractions

The attractions of Woolacombe beach are likely to fill much of your time – but Devon’s not short of excellent beaches, so if you fancy a change of seaside scenery you might like to hit the surf at Croyde (15 minutes’ drive) or Saunton Sands (20 minutes), or head to Ilfracombe (10 minutes) for the Tunnels beaches – it’s also the port for trips to wildlife-packed Lundy Island. Elsewhere along the coast, you might like to spend the day at Watermouth Castle (20 minutes) and its attached theme park, take a walk around the National Trust’s Baggy Point (25 minutes) or step back in time at the traditional fishing village of Clovelly (50 minutes). Keeping kids amused should be simple around here, with the likes of Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (20 minutes), Exmoor Zoo (25 minutes), Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (25 minutes) and The BIG Sheep amusement park (35 minutes) to choose from.
