Beats was opened in 2003 by a young local skater with a dream: To build a space where people would come to buy skateboards, vinyl and tee shirts. And they did, and they kept coming too! As a hub for the street sports and creative communities of Barnstaple North Devon, it was a natural progression to reach out and get involved with local events and happenings.

Over the course of 17 years, Beats has had a hand in skate events, jams and comps across the North Devon region as well as getting involved in music - from raves to radio shows - art and a whole lot of culture in between. From the start, Beats has always been more than a place to buy rad products and always stepped up to be a part of the community around us.

This is a topic covered many times and when I was asked by Ben Powel formerly sidewalk mag to comment on an article, that he was commissioned to write on behalf of Carhartt work in progress. I wrote the bellow. He defiantly didn't ask me for what I wrote and when I read it. Its been a year since one of the Beats stores closed its doors.

Honestly, just went there for the first time and I loved everything about it! I've never left a review anywhere but I just wanted because the guy who I talked to (the owner I'm pretty sure) was one of the nicest guys and made laugh and smile, got amazing clothes, had to get myself some, the vibes and everything about this place is fantastic! Definitely coming back for a coffee and more stuff for skate boarding. Oh yeah and gave me a free Coca-Cola so cheers!

Awesome skateshop. Has all the best clothes and trainers. If you need a new setup, you will always find something you want there. Love going there and we are lucky to have such a great shop in Barnstaple.

I've never had a bad coffee here, everyone I recommend this place to falls in love. And there's a dog! Amazing customer service too. I've also bought clothes in the past for my partner and the staff have always gone above and beyond to make sure I get exactly what I was after. 10/10 recommend!

Nipped in for a quick coffee when I saw it walking past on my way back to the car park. Long drive ahead of me so it was a welcome stop off - great coffee, good chat, and a beautiful dog. Lovely stuff!

Just popped in for a look with Hollie. What a gem of a shop. The owner made us feel very welcome. Giving us plenty of sound advice. We left with a new deck and one very happy daughter.😊😊😊. Can’t believe we haven’t been in before. Going to be trying the coffee next time.🤙🏻

Coffee - Awesome Threads - dope Banter - Great Welcome - Warm
A true Barnstaple gem. There is nothing I don't love about this shop, it's staff and their products.
