The Taw-Torridge estuary opens out into Bideford Bay between Saunton and Westward Ho! The estuary formed by the Taw and Torridge rivers is pretty big and provides some good flat water blasting windsurfing or kite-surfing conditions a couple of hours either side of high tide. Crow Beach is a suitable launching point into this estuary and a pleasant beach in its owb right.
To find it, as you come into Braunton from Barnstaple, take the left hand turning by the pedestrian crossing, past the Chapter surf shop. The turn right off this past the Tiki factory toward Velator Quay. A little way along this lane is a small toll road to Crow Beach. You can park just behind the beach within the dunes.
On good days with a decent Westerly wind it is possible to sail across the estuary to Instow.
