Three miles of golden sands stretching north towards Woolacombe and Morte Point and south
towards Baggy Point make up Putsborough.
It is one of the finest delightful beaches in the South west - the sea is inviting the surf of the highest quality and the surroundings are simply stunning. It is perfect for walkers and children due to the plentiful supply of rock pools to discover.
Putsborough is on the south side of Woolacombe and being farther away from the hotels shops and cafes means that the beach is usually quieter than neighbouring beaches. The golden long sweeping sands are renowned for their cleanliness and beauty. This beach provides superb bathing and the rolling waves of the Atlantic makes this a surfers' paradise. It is popular with swimmers, surfers,windsurfers and sea canoeists. There is a beach car park with disabled spaces however direct beach access involves some steps. Surfboard hire is available on the beach and Dogs are permitted from October to April. It is truly a beautiful beach with all the facilities for a great day out.
