Woolacombe Beach in Devon voted best in UK

We have been doing a lot of coastal flavoured work recently – including the Coastal Community Team Strategy for Mablethorpe and the LN12 area of the Lincolnshire coast. This article therefore appeals and it seems at the end to provide more grounds for the traditional friendly rivalry between Cornwall and Devon. It tells us:

A beach in Devon has been named as the best in the UK for the second year running.

Woolacombe Beach has received the best reviews and ratings from travellers, landing it the number one spot again in the top 25 beaches category in the TripAdvisor 2016 Travellers Choice Awards.

According to the review site, Woolacombe Beach is best to visit during the months of July and September. One person said: “Three miles of heaven. In wild weather, it is beautiful. In good weather, it is a delight.”

Another said: “Who would bother going to overrated Cape Town when this is on your doorstep?”

But with four entries, Cornwall was home to the greatest number of beaches in the top 10 of the TripAdvisor list.
