Woolacombe| Coastal resort in north Devon, southwest England, 11 km/7 mi from Ilfracombe. It has 5 km/3 mi of sands, and Barricane beach by Morte Bay has many shells. Potter's Hill, overlooking Morte Bay, and the headlands of Morte Point and Baggy Point are owned by the National Trust. |
| Mortehoe, to the north of Woolacombe, has an Early English Gothic church with interesting carving. Near Mortehoe is the Bull Point lighthouse; a red light is reflected onto the Morte Stone, where there are dangerous currents. |
| During World War II, Woolacombe Bay was the site of preparations for the D-day landings because it resembled the French coastline. |
