It is indeed,
I've also managed to get some mega bargains there too!

Ah okay then, I can understand why you'd go to Maccy D's then if you're not finished surfing until late in the day.

Where do you surf? At Saunton Sands? Thats a wicked beach, not too sure about the waves though?

I always been a bit of a beach bum despite living nowhere near Devon. I just know North Devon quite well from lots of camping trips and running around on the beaches.

I surf a longboard so generally Saunton is ideal
my other half is becoming a shortboarder though, so we often compromise and go to the middle of Woolacombe.

I love North Devon, apart from all the fucking tourists. It gets so busy in summer that it's dangerous. Hit a guy right in the face with my board towards the end of last summer

That is
the main problem with Devon. I would love to live there but the tourists would do my head in, same applies for The New Forest, lovely part of the world but the tourists are idiots.

I can totally see how you might hit someone with your board, people just don’t pay any attention in the water. Goons.

generally it is avoidable
it's one of the advantages of saunton. I can be bothered to walk a mile down the beach, whereas your average moron tourist can't

Thats true
its such a massive beach you can usually avoid most people.

My family used to take our crazy german shepherd over to Saunton in the summer, he was good at keeping the tourists at bay, mainly because he looked evil. In actual fact he was lovely and as daft as a box of frogs.
