One of the best things about staying in this part of Devon is how close you are to some of the UK’s most beautiful beaches. Just a short drive from Holsworthy, you’ll find the rugged North Devon and North Cornwall coastline, offering everything from golden sandy stretches to dramatic cliff-backed coves.
Bude is your nearest coastal hub, just 20 minutes away. Summerleaze Beach is perfect for families, with soft sand, gentle waves, and the iconic Bude Sea Pool for safe open-water swimming. A short stroll along the coast brings you to Crooklets Beach, loved by surfers and great for rock pooling at low tide.
If you’re after more space, head to Widemouth Bay. This vast sandy beach is a haven for surfers, bodyboarders, and those who simply want to relax with a picnic and take in the sea air.
Further along the coast, you’ll find Sandymouth Bay (National Trust), with its dramatic cliffs and wide beach that’s perfect for walks, beach games, or simply soaking up the views.
Whether you want to try surfing, hunt for seashells with the kids, or simply enjoy fish and chips while watching the sun set over the Atlantic, there’s a beach nearby to suit every mood and every day of your holiday.
