Thurlestone Sands / South Milton Sands is another spot that's well worth a visit, where a wide family friendly beach backs onto a nature reserve owned by the National Trust. Thurlestone Village is pretty too, with thatched roof cottages and pubs.
If you are keen to get out on the water, try Sea-N-Shore where you'll find powerboat rides and courses, wakeboarding, waterskiing, coasteering, banana boats and wildlife-watching boat trips.
Back on dry land, walkers will enjoy the Salcombe to Bolt Head Walk and walks on Bolberry Down. Salcombe is also a good base for exploring the South West Coast Path. The East Portlemouth and Gara Rock Trail is a short ferry ride from Salcombe and offers a stunning cliff walk.
For a more relaxed stroll, Overbeck's is a National Trust property with an Edwardian-style house, beautiful sub-tropical gardens and a fascinating museum. It is well maintained by the National Trust and has plants from all over the world in its gardens.
