Croyde is the defining Devon beach break and rivals any in the UK on its day. Works across all tides, but faster and steeper around low.

Breaks

• Main beach - A-frames along length, and quality lefts of southern headland.
• The Reef - at north end, is a fickle, quality, reef right that only works on high high tides with a solid swell. Dangerously rocky, shallow, sucky, take off. Heavily localised. Experts only.\

Rippy, rocky, and gets crowded quickly vs its northerly neighbours. Parking and camping on southern headland, or National Trust car park by Baggy Point to the N. Shops, schools and facilities galore.
