You are here > Things To Do > Barricane Beach
Barricane is a picturesque cove tucked in between the rocks, famous for cowries and other exotic sea shells.
Local folklore says that these shells have travelled off the shore of a Caribbean island thousands of miles across the Atlantic to be dropped in near-perfect condition in this precious little inlet on the North Devon coast.
Approximately 400 metres north of the main beach, Barricane is great for rock pooling and popular among surfers. Despite the lack of lifeguards there are some good coastal walks towards Mortehoe and the water quality is MCS recommended.
It is a short distance from the shops and car parks of Woolacombe and is dog friendly. Dogs are permitted from October to April and on a lead only May to September. Barricane is a great place for swimmers and surfers alike but high tides restrict its usage.
