Salcombe is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, walkers
and families looking for a holiday by the sea. There are several pretty
beaches within a short distance, including North Sands and South Sands,
plus the coves East Portlemouth on the opposite side of the estuary, just
a short passenger ferry ride away. Also on your doorstep is the National
Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical
gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the
watersports available on the estuary including surfing, coasteering,
kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe, take
advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the
restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon
provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number
of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some
fantastic opportunities for walking on the South West Coast path.
