Incredibly popular fish & chip restaurant and take-away. There is often a queue out the door during weekends. For take-away, I recommend placing your order on-line for ‘click and collect’.

A long stretch of flat golden sands and a popular surfing spot for long boarders and learners. Dogs are permitted on this beach all year. Behind the beach are sand dunes with a network of paths, which is a great place to walk the dog. There is also a café, surf shop and beach shop selling beach essentials and gifts. The car park is camera monitored on entry, so you need to visit the pay machine at the end of your visit

This is a family friendly beach, with a beach café, ice cream vans and a children’s amusement ride (during summer months). The village centre and car park is also immediately behind the beach, making it easy access. Dogs are not allowed on the beach during the summer, but at other times of the year this is a great location for a dog walk.

There is a lovely short walk that takes you around the southern tip of the Braunton Burrows sand dunes. The walk starts at the Broadsands car park located at the end of a toll road. To use the toll road you often need the correct change to operate the access barrier (currently cars are charged at £2).

A lovely walk which starts at the National Trust car park takes you along a cliff path to Baggy Point. You can either return on the same path or climb up the steps to the top path which loops back around. Often there are black sheep grazing along this walk, so you will need to ensure your dog is on a lead after passing through a pedestrian gate. At the end of the walk you may want to enjoy a cream tea at the Sandleigh tea shop.

This circular walk starts at the Morthoe village car park and involves some steep climbs and descents on a well-maintained coast path. We often take the National Trust recommended walk in reverse and head towards the Bull Point light house first, then head towards Morte Point and Woolacombe.

The Tarka Trail is a combined footpath and cycle-way between Braunton and Bideford and beyond! You can enjoy a small section of the path by walking/cycling from the centre of Braunton to Barnstaple. Along the route there is a cafe stop and direct access to the Heanton Court gastro pub.

If you fancy a longer cycle ride along the Tarka Trail, we recommend the café at Fremington Quay where they serve amazing home-made cakes and there is a free exhibition about the area’s history. Or by cycling a little further you can stop at Instow beach and visit the very popular ‘Johns of Instow’ deli and coffee shop, where they also sell amazing cakes and lunches.

Along the Tarka Trail you pass through the village of Instow, which has a lovely estuary beach. Dogs are permitted on this beach throughout the year. 'The Boathouse' gastro pub and ‘Johns of Instow’ deli and coffee shop are both great places to eat and dog friendly.
