View of Salcombe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Salcombe really is absurdly picturesque. To get a real feel for just how colourful is it, catch the ferry across to the eastern shore and admire the village from across the water. The beaches on the eastern shore are particularly lovely as well, and make a great excursion from Salcombe itself.

Salcombe–East Portlemouth Ferry

Mill Bay Beach

Highlight • Natural

Mill Bay is a beautiful sandy beach on the east side of the Salcombe Estuary. At low tide the beach stretches to East Portlemouth. This spot is popular with families, as there are nearby facilities.

View of Salcombe from the Rickham Common Coast Path

Highlight (Segment) • River

Nice section of the South West Coast Path between Mill Bay and Limebury Point. Great views across the river to Salcombe and out towards Bolt Head.

Gara Rock Coast Path

Highlight • Beach

Gara Rock on the coast path stands above Abraham's Cove. All of the coast here is wonderful walking with great views and beautiful trails.

Prawle Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

The jagged coastline of the South Hams is a notorious ‘ship trap’, which it’s said was exploited by unscrupulous ‘wreckers’ who would lure vessels to their doom. The fables are likely somewhat exaggerated, but a walk from East Prawle to Prawle Point is full of drama, mystery and stunning, fangy sea-rocks.
