Woolacombe (/ˈwʊləkəm/) is a seaside resort on the coast of North Devon, England, which lies at the mouth of a valley (or "combe") in the parish of Mortehoe.

The beach is 2 miles (3.2 km) long, sandy, gently sloping and faces the Atlantic Ocean near the western limit of the Bristol Channel.

Woolacombe is a popular destination for surfing and family holidays and is part of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

[3][needs update] The winter population is around 700 but during the summer large numbers of people come to the village for their holidays, including for surfing.

Woolacombe lies within the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is renowned for its dramatic coastal cliffs and landscape.

The Anglican Church of St Sabinus, designed by the architect W. D. Caröe and consecrated in 1912, is sited on the main road into the village centre.

A branch of the California-based Calvary Chapel was established in 2001, meeting at the time in the village hall, now meeting in the old Methodist Church, Beach Lane;[15] and in 2002 the chapel organised the first Creation Fest, a free Christian music festival, held annually on the outskirts of the village[16] until 2008, when the festival was moved to Cornwall.
