Beaches & Coast line
There are many stunning beaches within walking distance of the cottage.They include South Milton Sands, Thurlestone beaches, Hope Cove village Cove with its two sheltered sandy beaches, the only surf beach in South Devon at Bantham as well as Salcombe with its many sandy bays reached by boat or car. I mention only a few... you will need a week to enjoy them all!
Nearby Villages and towns
Salcombe is famous as a centre for sailing, diving and fishing with many walks either side of the estuary linked by ferry boats, along with lots of cafes and small shops ; as appealing, is bustling Kingsbridge, up-river from Salcombe, with it's farmers' markets and independent shopping high st; further inland are Totnes and Membury as well as historic Dartmouth & Plymouth for the naval history. There are regattas and festivals to visit throughout the year.
Things to do
If you're active paddle-boarding or kayaking round the coastline to Hope Cove is a must ; or try surfing on South Devon's famous Bantham beach or take your bikes to the nearby Dart Valley cycle path. Explore National Trust's Overbeck , on the edge of Salcombe; Agatha Christie's house, Greenaway, near pretty Dittisham, or visit Burgh Island, the setting of several Agatha Christie books.
However, our favourite pastime is walking the coast path and enjoying the great pubs and cafes along the way.
