Salcombe
Located on the southernmost coast of Devon in England, Salcombe is equidistant from Plymouth, Torbay and the A38. It boasts a very mild climate and is popular with walkers, sailors or those simply wanting a slower pace of life away from busy city life. Salcombe lies at the mouth of the “estuary”, a truly amazing ecosystem of near Mediterranean climate which provides a home for many species of birds and plant life seldom found in Britain.
Salcombe boasts some of the best sailing waters in the UK, sheltered for dinghy sailing and windsurfing. For the landlubbers, there are beaches, galleries, museums and scenery filled coastal walks. The main street is lined with many shops, including basic facilities such as newsagents, butchers, bakers etc. as well as many designer stores. Two Blue Flag beaches, South Sands and North Sands are to the South of Salcombe, linked by road or regular passenger ferry to Salcombe Town.
