Get ready for a week where Ilfracombe truly comes alive by the water 
Ilfracombe Coast Week is all about celebrating our harbour, coastline and the people, stories and creativity shaped by the sea.

We’re excited to say the iconic PS Waverley will also be visiting, joining our fantastic regular boat trip operators in the harbour – a brilliant blend of classic maritime heritage and the everyday coastal adventures that make Ilfracombe so special. 

 What we’re planning:

 Regular guided coastal walks and engaging talks, sharing local history, heritage and hidden stories

 A strong thread of maritime heritage and coastal culture, woven through the week

 Art and creativity inspired by the sea, popping up around town

 Special offers and taster sessions for water-based and coastal activities

 Coast-inspired menus celebrating delicious local produce in our cafés, pubs and restaurants

Whether you’re into exploring on foot, heading out on the water, soaking up local culture or simply enjoying great food with a harbour view, this is a week designed to help you experience Ilfracombe at its coastal best.
