8 Best Activities In Ilfracombe
The sea does most of the entertaining here. The Ilfracombe Princess Cruises takes you out on it, OSKC Watersports puts you in it, and Tunnels Beaches sits beside it. Seven of eight Ilfracombe listings are outdoor, so this is a town where the forecast writes the plan for you. Ilfracombe Aquarium is the indoor backstop, and Watermouth Castle and Theme Park straddles the two.

Check the weather, then check it again on the morning. On a good day this is one of the better small coastal lists; on a bad one it comes down to the aquarium and whatever the theme park keeps under cover. Confirm sailings and admission with each venue directly.
Visiting Ilfracombe with kids: FAQs
How weather-dependent is a visit?
Very. Seven of the eight listings are outdoor, including the boat trip, the watersports and the parks, so a settled forecast changes the day completely. Ilfracombe Aquarium is the only listing here recorded as indoor alone, which makes it the thing you keep in reserve rather than the thing you plan around.
What suits under-fives?
Bicclescombe Park is the run-around option and asks nothing of anybody. Watermouth Castle and Theme Park aims at the small-child end of things instead of the white-knuckle one, and Ilfracombe Aquarium is short enough to hold their attention to the end. The watersports and quad listings carry minimum ages, so those are for later years.
Which listings get children on or in the water?
OSKC Watersports is the in-the-water listing and The Ilfracombe Princess Cruises the on-the-water one, both outdoor. Tunnels Beaches gives you the sea without any equipment or arrangements at all. All three depend on conditions, so speak to the operator about what is running and what suits your children's ages.
