Beautiful reflections in the sand. Northam burrows is a huge sandy beach perfect for learning to surf
Northam Burrows, Appledore, North Devon. A huge sandy beach with natural pebble ridge made up of thousands of irresistible smooth grey pebbles. You can surf, swim, play in rock pools, build sand castles, BBQ, run, watch the sunset, make a den in the pebbles, play golf and walk your dogs here. It’s a nature reserve too. Lovely!
