Eat at the Red Barn in the evening, huge portions, great food, cheap and lost of surfers and surfing decor too. Life guards patrol from 2 4X4 in high season
There is a woolacombe longboarders club for thw older dudes like me. Special access off the rocks near the benches on the headland, only accessable at high tide and best left to the locals as there are plenty of rocks under water. Otherwise plenty of other peaks, best are at the town end and the other opposite the tiny river mouth.

Atmosphere

Can get very crowded in the summer, but life guards do their job well and keep the swimmers etc out of the big surf areas. 3miles of beach so if its getting full just walk a little. The whole bay holds waves in a 2-3 foot swell. Surfable at 1-2feet swell but short rides. Atmosphere is very good all year round.
