Barricane Beach is a picturesque sandy beach located in North Devon, England. Situated between the popular seaside towns of Woolacombe and Mortehoe, this hidden gem offers a tranquil and idyllic setting for visitors to enjoy.

The beach is renowned for its unique and beautiful rock formations, which line the shores and provide a stunning backdrop. These rocks are composed of a variety of minerals, including limestone, quartzite, and shale, resulting in vibrant colors and patterns that add to the beach's charm.

Barricane Beach is particularly famous for its seashells. It is known as one of the best places in the country to find exotic seashells, which wash up on the shore from the Atlantic Ocean. Many visitors enjoy collecting these shells as souvenirs or for decorative purposes.

The beach also offers fantastic opportunities for swimming and sunbathing. The waters here are relatively calm and clear, making it a safe and inviting spot for a refreshing dip. Lifeguards are present during the summer months to ensure the safety of beachgoers.

There is a small café located just above the beach, known for its delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. The café provides a unique dining experience, allowing visitors to enjoy authentic dishes while taking in the breathtaking views.

Overall, Barricane Beach is a charming and unspoiled destination, perfect for those seeking a peaceful and natural beach experience. Its stunning scenery, seashells, and convenient amenities make it a must-visit spot along the North Devon coastline.
