- MrsG1405Berkshire49 contributionsThe absolute highlight of our trip to North Devon. Despite the cold and blustery evening, we were delighted to catch the final show of the season.
We smiled from ear to ear from start to finish. A thoroughly enjoyable evening which whizzed by far too quickly!
A lovely family friendly, COVID secure, activity that we are still talking about more than a week on.Written 9 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Mike SSt. Albans, UK336 contributionsA simply staggeringly beautiful part of the coastline.

Not bad to get to though It's actually quite challenging walking the path further east. Really picturesque and stunning wonderful scenery. We saw some seals at low and mod tide on some rocks about 500m west of more point.Written 26 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MarkMahoneyAldershot, UK1,755 contributionsThe beach is not always accessible due to rock falls etc but the landscape and scenery above and beyond is absolutely stunning. It's quite remote but can be reached from a few points You also may walk past this area if walking the coast path. The paths can be steep and stengerous but the views are outstanding.Written 26 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Sarah C1 contributionWe booked Woolacombe Surf Centre for a 2 hour private lesson for a hen party. Ray and Oli were great instructors, made the lesson safe but fun. They were able to cater for different abilities, taking people more capable to the bigger waves whilst supporting and giving tips to everyone else. We had all mostly surfed a bit before and they gave us some great tips and encouragement on how to improve. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great morning!! 🏄♀️Written 16 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- marion e1 contributionFriendly, professional staff. Jaz took my two grandchildren in the water for a surfing lesson, and gave them a super session although both were different abilities. Would definitely book again. Also very helpful when we went back to purchase a winter weight wet suit.Written 16 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Emma Marshall2 contributionsA truly amazing experience. I felt so safe and secure with Sam. He is extremely knowledgable about the area and explained all I needed to know.
But honestly it was the most gentle extreme experience I have ever had.
We hovered over a buzzard and it was like stepping into a serene parallel universe in seconds.
I highly recommend this to anyone.Written 17 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Shauna D2 contributionsSecond time of using Nick Thorn surf school.Very helpful and efficient.

- 35KateJ5Brentwood, UK12 contributionsFantastic experience! We all loved it - particularly my 11 year old! The peaks at Hele Bay were brilliant.
