Coast/Beach
Croyde beach is 400m level walk. Stunning, famous surfing beach that picks up most swells. At low tide it can become world class. Plenty of rockpools and sand dunes for young children.

Putsborough is 5 mins drive. Another great surfing beach but more sheltered hence smaller than Croyde. Especially popular with families.
Saunton is 8 mins drive. Huge beach is a favourite amongst long boarders and kite surfers.

Numerous other beaches within 30 mins drive.

Golf
Croyde is 2 miles from Saunton Golf Club. Saunton boasts two magnificent classic links courses both featuring in Golf World's Top 100 courses. They have been described by Nick Faldo as the 36 most enjoyable holes in England.

The championship East hosts many prestigious amateur events and is famed for it's unremittingly tough par 4's. Accurate driving is a prerequisite to achieve low scores. A task that becomes increasingly more difficult with wind strength!

Whilst the newer West is slightly shorter and generally "tighter" than the East, it also presents a stiff challenge with a premium on placement and shotmaking rather than length.

The location and terrain of Saunton enables both courses to be played virtually 365 days per year on proper tees and greens in weather when any other course would be closed.

Alternatively take a step back in time and visit Royal North Devon (20 miles) to play England's oldest golf course.

There are several other less demanding courses in the vicinity.

Caddying available for Saunton and other local courses available at additional cost.
