Croyde is a small seaside village in North Devon, Devon, England. Its wide sandy bay, powerful beach breaks and a rocky reef make it a magnet for surfers, while dramatic walks along Baggy Point and the neighbouring sand dunes of Braunton Burrows provide striking coastal scenery.
Historically a farming and fishing settlement, Croyde is now largely sustained by tourism, surf schools and hospitality, with traditional pubs, independent shops and campsites serving a lively summer crowd. The village sits within the broader North Devon coastal landscape and is close to the North Devon Biosphere Reserve, so it’s popular for walking, wildlife watching and outdoor activity year‑round.
