Croyde Holiday Cottages
Croyde is perhaps Devon's best-known surfing beach and for good reason. Facing almost due west, this stunning beach has the perfect combination of natural occurrences; swell and quality sandbanks that on a low tide can produce fantastic barrels for surfers. The beach itself is a stunning stretch of golden sand backed by sand dunes overlooking the red-rock headlands; Baggy Point (National Trust) to the north and Saunton Down to the south. Children can enjoy endless fun climbing the dunes, rock pooling, kite flying, surfing and swimming in the life guarded zones and so much more.
