HIDDEN GEMS

Perched on the edge of the Atlantic in North Devon, Wanderlust Life is inspired by the wild beauty of the coast. Our shop sits on the road to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the UK, where rolling waves, golden sands and endless horizons shape everything we create.

From the jewellery we design to the way we live, the rhythm of the sea runs through it all: calm, intentional and always open to adventure. If you visit us in-store, here’s some inspo on other gems while you’re down here - our must-do or must-see spots and sights in North Devon, a guide to ‘Hevon on Earth’ (...see what we did there?)

SEA POOL, WOODY BAY
For the fierce cold water swimmers who brave the sea all year round. Be rewarded for your courage at Woody Bay’s stunning sea pool. Make sure to visit at low tide. 

THE PORTHOLE, WOOLACOMBE
A stunning café where the only thing better than the food is the incredible view over Middle Beach (the stretch between Putsborough and Woolacombe). Open every day, even through the winter, which makes us happy. 

RESTAURANT KENSINGTON, LYNTON
Our maker, Bex, came in on a grey Monday still high from the joy of her Sunday roast the day before. A new solid contender for her new favourite Roast (of course this search never ends…) 

WOOLACOMBE NEO CINEMA
Whoever decided to swap cinema chairs for armchairs and sofas was a genius. Keep an eye on their website for the latest screenings. 

CLOVELLY VILLAGE
If you close your eyes and think of a quintessentially English fishing village, you’ll likely picture something like Clovelly. Just strolling round Clovelly, popping into the pubs, walking around the nearby woodlands, spotting boats in the harbour is a beautiful

BURTON GALLERY, BIDEFORD
A gallery, museum, and inspiring creative space, complete with a charming French style café on site.

BAGGY CAFE, SAUNA & BATH
Hop between the sauna and the ice bath for the best kind of therapy, all with mighty views of Croyde beach. And with the cafe right next door, you know your plans for afterwards are sorted….

STARFISH SPOTTING, BARRICANE
Apparently visiting Barricane at low tide through the winter means you can spot starfish in the rockpools! Head to the Barn afterwards for some cheesy chips.

SAUNTON SANDS HOTEL
Iconic views, slow spa days, and beach walks right on your doorstep.

SEA SAUNA, SAUNTON
Therapy like no other: dart between the cold Atlantic ocean and a hot, wood-fired sauna (on the beach!). Check their website for session times.

VALLEY OF THE ROCKS, LYNTON
The iconic wintery walking with a view where craggy Exmoor cliffs drop dramatically to the sea. A must for hikers and daydreamers alike.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL, BRAUNTON
Our go-to for donuts and coffee, AND just a short stroll from our shop which we are very happy about. Heartbreak Hotel stays on our Hidden Gems every year for a reason.

SUNSHINE & SNOW, BIDEFORD
A beauty of a shop - and now with its cafe in the front - it’s the perfect pit-stop for a day out. Bursting with colourful independent brands.
