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. 

NEW COAST KITCHEN, CROYDE
A go-to in Croyde for seasonal, flavour-packed food. We’re loving their new summer menu and can highly recommend the bao buns. The perfect post-beach spot to refuel and linger a little longer.

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. 

CHERRY TREE CAMPSITE, CROYDE
Hop between the sauna and the ice bath for the best kind of therapy, all set within the campsite. It’s quickly become our go-to for team socials, and their summer events are well worth checking out.

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.

SENSE GREATER PEACE, WOOLACOMBE
A moment to slow down. Our team recently visited and left feeling grounded, calm and quietly inspired. Thoughtfully curated sessions from sound baths to breathwork, designed to help you reset and reconnect.

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.

HARTA RETREAT
Intimate live music and wellbeing events set against the North Devon landscape. Live music every Sunday from now until October and it’s free! Expect soulful sounds, open skies and a beautifully relaxed atmosphere.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL, BRAUNTON
Our go-to for donuts and coffee, just a short stroll from our shop. Heartbreak Hotel stays on our Hidden Gems list every year for a reason - plus their new Heartbreak Bakery is now open daily, 9–1.

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.
