The votes are in, Trip Advisor’s users have spoken and best beach in the UK for 2015 is officially Woolacombe Bay in Devon.

The Great British seaside is a wonderful thing, if you’re looking for bucket and spade summer holidays or bracing winter walks and fresh air, just get yourself down to the beach. If you don’t know this part of the world, let me tell you more.

Why Visit Woolacombe?

Woolacombe Beach in North Devon ranked as number 1 beach in the UK and the fourth best beach in Europe. Taking things global, this British gem came it at number 13.

That’s pretty impressive.

This has always been an area of the UK that its fans and followers have deemed to be world-class and now they have the certification to confirm it! According to experts among the tourism industry, the appeal of Woolacombe Beach lies largely in how incredible laid-back and old-fashioned it is.

Woolacambe’s broad sweep of sand appeals on many levels, giving it a diverse popularity that helped propel it up the polls. Simply put, Woolacombe has it all.

Surfers, nature lovers and sun seekers all love Woolacombe and its luxuriant three miles of gorgeous sea-side vistas. Those three miles give visitors the space they need when they flee the city crowds for Devon’s peacefulness.

Ever popular with families, Woolacombe offers a safe haven for young explorers of British coastal delights under the watchful eye of experienced RNLI life guards. Woolacombe doesn’t just offer sand and sea, there are rock pools waiting to be investigated too. The beach is kept immaculately clean and dogs and their owners have their own special area to enjoy.
