Westward Ho! is a seaside village near Bideford in Devon, England. The A39 road provides access from the towns of Barnstaple, Bideford and Bude. Westward Ho lies at the south end of Northam Burrows and faces westward into Bideford Bay, opposite Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows. There is an electoral ward with the same name.
Westward Ho is known for its surfing seas and the long expanse of clean sand backed by a pebble ridge and grasslands which extends for about three miles. Westward Ho has two churches, Westward Ho! Baptist Church and Holy Trinity Church. The seaward part of the village of Westward Ho lies within the North Devon Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
The rocks on the coastline of Westward Ho! are of Upper Carboniferous age. The rocks were tilted during the Variscan Orogeny; in the present day they dip at 50-70 degrees north and south. The wave-cut platform is an example of a multi-scale fault system, with the phases of tectonic activity exposed at low tide.
Stagecoach services run right through the day at 30 minute intervals, 2 buses an hour overall. National Express Coaches also serve Westward Ho!. A railway served Westward Ho! from 1901 to 1917. The Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway was a standard gauge railway which ran between these places, but had no connection with the rest of the railway system, though there was a pedestrian ferry link from Appledore to Instow which was connected to the rest of the rail network of Britain. A section of the trackbed is used as part of the South West Coast Path.

Summer beach days at Westward Ho! in North Devon
We spent a couple of days out at Westward Ho! beach in North Devon. With lifeguards, plenty of parking options at the nearby Northam Burrows country park, close to the town, and ice cream van, as well as being dog friendly, it's a lovey north Devon beach for families and surfers alike.
Just a simple walk as the tide is going out, you get to see beautiful mirrored beach and sand patterns.
