The long golden sands, tidal swimming pool and Blue Flag waters at Westward Ho! make this a popular summer holiday resort for families. There are plenty of award-winning apartments just a stone’s throw from the beach, and what other town can boast having an exclamation mark officially in its name?
Just down the coast, Appledore is a quintessential Devon fishing village with sheltered moorings and a quay. A stroll around the labyrinthine narrow streets reveals fishermens’ cottages in charming hues of pink, green and lemon. They are popular with artists and holidaymakers as well as local families who have lived there for generations.
There are endless things to do from Westward Ho! and Appledore holiday homes, including surfing, kite surfing and watching kite buggies race down the beach on breezy days. Golfers will delight in knowing that the Royal North Devon Golf Club, the oldest in England, is nearby while surfers can take lessons from the Surf School on the beach. Walking, cycling, horse riding, painting, birdwatching, fishing, swimming and exploring the rock pools will happily fill each day and in the evening local pubs and restaurants serve excellent home-cooked food.
A pebble ridge separates the beach from Northam Burrows which is a natural habitat for wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visitors can hire bicycles and explore the scenic Tarka Trail or take the ferry from Appledore to Instow for tea at the grand Commodore Hotel on the waterfront. Families can spend an action-packed day at the Big Sheep Farm at Abbotsham, bottle-feeding the lambs, watching duck and sheepdog trials or placing a bet on the surprisingly agile sheep in the Big Sheep Race.
