Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A beautiful beach at the end of Woolacombe Bay. A huge car park is a close walk to the beach with a ramp and steps, £8 parking all day is great compared to many other beaches in the area. The beach is large with a big tidal range, some beach left at high tide if you stay all day. Very clean. Good facilities and walks nearby. The caravan site looks pleasant too although we didn't stay there.

The beach is not as soft sand as it's neighbour - leave sandcastle building for the Woolacombe beach sands, but you'll have so much fun on this small secluded beach with it's own little cafe (cash only!) and amazing rocks and rock pools. It's a steep but almost step free walk down from the cliff top/parking on the road. The only thing it lacks is a toilet! It's a real "bring what you need, take your rubbish with you" kind of beach with limitless natural beauty. Locals are friendly, too!

Halfway between Mortehoe and Woolacombe we ventured there whilst taking our pup for a walk. Whilst having to take a fair few steps down to the cove, it was well worth it. The green at the top of the steps is meant to be epic in the summer.

Barricane Beach used to be a hidden gem; a secluded cove tucked away. However due to Facebook it is now much sought after due to the curries and (without meaning to offend) is now more like a mini Ibiza. Crowded and noisy. It has become a victim of its own success and in my view is now spoilt (although I'm sure many will disagree)

Interesting little beach, with more character than neighbouring Woolacombe. Good for rockpools and had sandy area, but approached over shale, so needed beach shoes. Sadly, we didn't find any shells, but maybe this was because we were there as the tide was coming in, rather than low tide. We watched the sunset and the moon rise. Beautiful. Downsides - no toilets at the beach, you'll need to walk 5 minutes to Woolacombe; very crowded at high tide. Beach cafe does great curries.

After reading lots of reviews, we decided to go and have a curry on the beach at Barricane Beach. It is really popular and the queues can be long. Luckily, we didn’t queue at all but that was probably because it began to lightly rain as we arrived. There were two curry options available, meat and veg. In the takeaway box you are given 3 mini curries, a small salad (lettuce and carrots), popadoms and a little wooden fork.
I really wanted to love it but it was only ok. Sorry. The idea is brilliant and I think if you go with a group of friends and a lot of drink, it is probably better. Our 3 children weren’t that impressed with not having a choice so ruined the moment.
Try it. It’s a great idea, just not for us.

What’s not to like?
Can really recommend this experience.An idyllic ending to a busy day on the beach.
Remember to bring cash..about 50 for 4.

Such a beautiful, sheltered beach. So relaxing and peaceful. The cabin serves wonderful food at lunch time and Sri Lankan curries in the evening. We are thrilled we found this beach and the food cabin.

Absolutely STUNNING! Lots of rock pools depending on the time you go and if the tide is out. We found two huge orange starfish. Lots of little shells and interesting bits and pieces to find. Good for exploring and to relax. Sheltered from the element on a windy day. Not to mention it being absolutely breathtaking.

Where is the large car park located is there a postcode or name for it.

Unlikely - parking is limited as it is. There are camp sites around though.

Hello, what is parking like and is it any good for shells and sea glass? Thanks :)
Written 16 July 2018
Hi
There is on street parking outside the entrance to the cover which charges £1.10 per hour for a maximun 4 hours stay.
Charges are in place April to September
There is a large car park a 3 minute walk away which charges anywhere from £4-£6 for the day depending on the season or you can park on south street area a 5-10 minute walk away for an hour free april to September or it is free after 1800.
It is a stoney/shingle beach so there is a selection of stones and shells. Unsure if there is any seaglass

It's every night during summer / good weather, and no need to book, there are no tables just a beach to sit on. Take a picnic blanket and own drinks.
