Beaches in and around Salcombe

Estuary-sheltered and calm, with the Winking Prawn café right on the sand — the easiest of Salcombe's beaches for lunch by the water.

A sheltered sandy bay reached by Salcombe's colourful passenger ferry, calmer water than East Portlemouth across the estuary.

Reached only by a small passenger ferry across the estuary from Salcombe — the only beach on this stretch you arrive at by boat.

A sheltered sandy beach set below a genuine thatched fishing village, further along the coast from Salcombe's cluster of beaches.

Overlooked by Thurlestone Rock, the arch-shaped formation painted by Turner, with a protected SSSI wetland stretching out behind the beach.

A surf beach at the mouth of the River Avon estuary, part of the same stretch of coast as South Milton Sands and Thurlestone.
