Things to do
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. And, whether your preference is a casual stroll or hardy hike, there’s a dizzying selection of paths and headlands to explore.
