View of Salcombe Harbour

Highlight • River

Salcombe Harbour is home to both fishing boats and pleasure crafts with plenty of holiday makers enjoying time on yachts, paddle boards and kayaks.

If you are very lucky you may spot dolphins or basking sharks in the summer months. Salcombe itself is a pretty town with narrow streets and plenty of places to refuel and rehydrate.

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.

East Prawle

Highlight • Cafe

A friendly little Devon coastal village with good running access to the coast path. The Devon coast to coast would start or finish here. The Pig's Nose pub and Piglet coffee shop are both good refuel stops.
