The post 3 Must-Visit Beaches in Devon, UK appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Woolacombe Bay, North Devon, England
Around half an hour’s drive from the town of Barnstaple is the stunning Woolacombe Bay. Famed for its excellent surfing conditions, in the high summer season you will find this beach packed with surfers, swimmers, paddlers, and sunbathers alike. In the winter season, a walk along the beach is sure to be bracing but worth it. There are several car parks in the town of Woolacombe, as well as plenty of cafes and restaurants so you can refuel after your sea dip.
Dawlish Warren, South Devon, England
This beach combines beautiful sand dunes with gentle surf and a nearby wildlife sanctuary, for a great day out for the whole family. You can drive or take the train to Dawlish from Devon’s capital, Exeter. You will find plenty of sandy beaches, dunes to explore, and the estuary bird sanctuary tucked behind the dunes. As in Woolacombe, there are cafes and restaurants in Dawlish which will serve up a Devon cream tea (scones with cream and jam), or that British classic, fish and chips.
Ayrmer Cove, South Devon, England
This beach is a little off the beaten track, and you will need to walk a small section of the South West Coast Path to reach it. The payoff, however, is that even in the high summer season this beach is emptier than many stretches of sand nearby. Do be aware that if you’re planning on swimming, there is no lifeguard nearby, so follow sensible precautions and don’t get in the water unless you feel confident in your swimming ability and knowledge. If you’re not swimming, there are still plenty of beach activities to do, including some rock pooling and sand castle building.

]]>Catch Some Nature
Being by the sea, Brighton is a great place to spot some wildlife. It is famous for its murmurations (gatherings) of birds such as starlings, as they may be seen swirling and dipping over the sea towards sunset on most days. You can also keep an eye out for marine mammals including seals and even dolphins, which are sometimes spotted from the shore.
Enjoy the Culture
Brighton is home to many independent art galleries, theatres, and music venues, and there’s a real sense of creativity within the city. Make sure you head to the Lanes, a couple of streets towards the center of town which showcase some great independent shops and market stalls. Along the seafront, don’t miss the ‘upside down house’, a major photo opportunity that perfectly encapsulates Brighton’s quirky heart.
Take a Seafront Stroll
Brighton is famous for its Victorian-era palatial homes and hotels which face out to sea. You can take a great walk along the paved seafront, enjoying the views of this great architecture in one direction and of the sparkling blue ocean in the other. You can hire a bike if you want a faster way of getting around the city, or take it easy and stop off for an ice cream mid-promenade.

]]>Floral Scents
Scotland is famous for its wildflower blooms, particularly bluebells which should be at their best between late April and late May. You don’t need to venture out into the wilds to see these, many country and city parks will provide you with some stunning and memorable displays. Although Scotland looks beautiful at all times of year, the carpets of wildflowers are something special.
Insect Free
While March, April, and May may not be entirely insect-free, you won’t have to worry about the clouds of midges (small biting flies) which are a particular problem on the Scottish west coast throughout the summer months. These insects have been known to ruin hikes and expeditions, as without appropriate protection they can bite remorselessly, making your time spent in the stunning Scottish countryside quite miserable.
Sunshine Splendor
Springtime in Scotland doesn’t guarantee dry, sunny days, but it does make the chances of seeing some blue skies and bright sunshine a lot higher. This can make a huge difference to your experience of Scotland, as winters are notoriously harsh and unrelenting. If you’re planning on exploring the great outdoors, or simply want to walk the streets of Edinburgh or Glasgow without four layers of clothing on, make sure you plan to visit in spring or summer when the weather is a little gentler and more manageable.
