Putsborough Beach

Putsborough Beach is a stunning beach located in North Devon, England. It is known for its beautiful sandy shores and the Baggy Head peninsula, which acts as a buffer for the winds that come from the South West. This natural characteristic makes it less windy than its neighboring beach, Woolacombe. The beach offers good waves for bodyboarding and, given the right weather conditions, surfing. Surfboard hire is available near the car park. The beach is generally less crowded than its neighboring beaches, Croyde, Saunton, and Woolacombe, making it an ideal location for families. It features lovely rock pools that are home to baby crabs, shrimps, and tiny fish, adding an extra element of fun for visitors. Amenities at Putsborough Beach include a cafe and a snack shop. The cafe is known for its efficiency, quickly serving the long queues of customers. The snack shop offers a range of beach essentials, although prices are typical of beach locations. There are also very good toilet facilities near the far side of the car park, although there is no human drinking water tap available. Parking is available at the beach, although it is noted to be a bit expensive. The car park is a small grass field, and staff are employed to ensure maximum parking efficiency. The beach is a bit of a challenge to get to, due to the narrow lanes that lead to it. Despite this, the stunning views, soft golden sand, and the absence of crowds make Putsborough Beach a popular choice for beachgoers seeking relaxation.
