Sandaway Beach Holiday Park | A Family Fun Park

Local Area

Sandaway Beach Holiday Park is set in the seaside village of Combe Martin, the gateway to Exmoor.

Combe Martin is a traditional seaside village with gift shops, fish and chip takeaways, pubs and cafes. It also has two beaches and there are plenty of water activities including sea kayaking, paddle boarding and coastal rafting.

You are within easy reach of some of the most beautiful parts of the North Devon coastline including the fantastic beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton and the park itself directly links to the South West Coastal path, so you can follow the coast around through Watermouth into Ilfracombe or venture out through Lorna Doone country to Lynton and Lynmouth.

There are a range of visitor attractions on the doorstep including Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, Watermouth Castle, Arlington Court and a little further afield you have The Big Sheep which is a great family day out.

For many people though, the charm of Combe Martin lies within the raw beauty of the area where rolling hills meet dramatic cliffs as the sea melts into the horizon.
