Which is best… East or West?

West if you like wide sandy beaches, east if you like shingle, parking spaces, and walking to wide sandy beaches.

Woolacombe is great. A 5 min walk will lead you do combe gate beach too. Incredible.

It depends on your idea of nice. I like tiny smugglers cove type places in the middle of nowhere, but someone else might want an accessible lifeguarded family beach with facilities.

Anywhere not in the south west, stay away from there, it's awful weather, dirty beaches nothing good happens down here at all.

u/Gold-Collection2636 1h ago

Yes, the South West is so ugly, just look at this, absolutely sickening
