Most tourists leave Devon at the end of the summer holidays in September and don’t return until the following July, leaving the county peaceful once again. The beaches are waiting to be explored, and on some occasions you can have the whole stretch to yourself.
Devon is the only county with two coastlines, and in Autumn both the South and North coast are great for all abilities of surfers. With hurricane season in full swing in the Atlantic, it only seems natural that the bigger waves make their way to the Devon coastlines. Autumn means warmer water too after heating up over the summer, so you can leave your winter wetsuit at home!
