Around Salcombe
Salcombe presents a rich and varied tapestry: Salcombe’s local dairy ice cream in many delectable flavours; modish designer shops; art galleries; local restaurants who skilfully prepare local fish and seafood; sailing and kayaking lessons; scuba diving (lots of wrecks); power boating and RIBs; surfing; fishing.
On Custom House Quay, there’s a fascinating Museum of Maritime and Local History. Cross the estuary by ferry to sandy beaches at Smalls Cove, Mill Bay and Sunny Cove (while keeping a lookout for visiting seals and dolphins).
On North Sands Beach: go crabbing in intriguing rock pools. On South Sands Beach: witness the tide-braving sea tractor exchange passengers with the doughty Salcombe Ferry which takes you into town. Further out, enjoy the colourful flora in the Overbecks subtropical National Trust gardens.
