Baggy Point is a headland in north Devon, England. It separates Croyde bay and Morte Bay which includes the beaches of Woolacombe and Putsborough.
The sandstone rocks are popular with climbers.
The land is owned by the National Trust, and forms part of the Saunton To Baggy Point Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest, because of the geological interest in Upper Devonian Sandstones. The fauna in the rocks is poor but contains bivalves, possibly of brackish to freshwater affinities, and plant remains. It provides an important habitat including maritime heathland.
There is evidence of human occupation from the Mesolithic era and was used during World War II by American forces training for the D-Day Normandy Landings.
