Salcombe - for a seaside holiday to remember

Salcombe is a delightful and charming town, situated in the south of Devon. The
tranquil countryside surrounding Salcombe is ideal both for keen hikers and those
who enjoy a more leisurely ramble, while the scenic coastline is breathtaking. It’s a
superb place to spend a relaxing week or weekend away, escaping from the fast
pace of everyday life.

For those wanting a more active holiday, Salcombe is the place to come for sailing.
It boasts some of the best sailing waters in England, as the sheltered estuary gives
protection from Atlantic currents. There are many sailing schools within Salcombe
providing first-class tuition for beginners as well as experienced sailors.

The town has all you need for the perfect holiday. There are cafes, restaurants, art
galleries, museums, and great shopping. Find a shop selling Salcombe's famous
dairy ice cream, and you’ll be in for a real treat. Two glorious beaches can be found
to the south of Salcombe, and across the estuary, a short boat ride away, lie the
award-winning beaches of Mill Bay and Sunny Cove.

There are plenty of places to stay in and around Salcombe, ranging from old
thatched cottages to four-star hotels. For those of you who love the outdoors, there
are many camping and caravan sites located in quiet and pretty surroundings.

Come to the seaside at Salcombe for a more varied experience than a holiday in the
countryside and a more peaceful holiday than a city break.
