Quirky and fun way to spend a Monday evening in Croyde village. Our children aren’t at the age where they can make it much past 10pm, and sitting in a caravan listening to rain wasn’t our first choice. When we saw this and read the reviews, we thought we’d give it a go. Popcorn on arrival and access to a bar with soft drinks for the kids. It was a pleasant experience that I doubt we’ll forget.

Overall Ratings

A short and easy 2.7 mile walk on the South West Coast Path out to the tip of Baggy Point and back again, taking in spectacular views of the coastline towards Bideford Bay and Hartland. Children will love the whale bones and the old wreck post, as well as the rocks and cliffs. A gently sloping walk out to Baggy Point and back. An alternative route back includes a short steep climb.

Great walk; not too busy (went in peak of August); as usual a friendly NT assistant at the car park; relatively easy with our two kids of nine and twelve. Two options to get to from Croyde NT parking; one over a couple of hills, the other a coast path by the cliff, we looped round over the hills and back through the coastal path. Personally I would not have done the walk by the cliff on wet or windy weather, but on a fine day it's worth doing. We spent almost two hours, but can probably be done in half that time, we took out time exploring down some rocks and taking pictures of kestrels.

I have lived in North Devon for 8 years and have seen pretty much all of the beautiful beaches that this coastline has to offer, but Crow Point for me stands out from the crowd. It is a vast expanse of sand, sea, dunes and incredible views which is absolutely worth a visit with only a £2.00 fee payable at a toll for as long as you want to stay. For those who want to avoid the crowd, let their children (and dogs) roam free, this is the place to go.

A cracking place to thoroughly enjoy the day with friends and family, whether just chilling on the beach, grabbing a ice cream or hitting the waves for some bodyboarding or surfing. Plus there is always the beach games - rounders, Frisbee, beach volleyball, football, cricket the list goes on and there are the sand dunes as well to climb, bodyboard down or just get lost in. then at the end of the day you can just relax on the beach and watch the sun set. Well worth a visit.
