Great for crabbing off dockside.

Great stretch of beach leading to SW coastal path. Lots of free parking and always very quiet. There are two places to eat, The Cricket Inn, a beachside pub serving amazing food, afternoon teas, sandwiches and great ales and wines. Tables outside are beside sea, very safe for children whilst you relax a little.
Also 'Brittania at the Beach' which is a wonderful seafood and fish restaurant with takeaway option too and picnic tables to enjoy food beside the sea. It is has a 'bring your own' alcohol policy which makes the bill a little lighter too. Cricket Inn sells local ale in cartons if you arrive without any.

Lovely little town for crabbing with little ones and people watching. Gets very crowded in season but plenty of parking on edge of town and lovely walk in beside converted boat houses (galleries, Salcombe Gin Distillery, leather workshop etc.) to harbourside for crabbing and ice creams, cafes etc.

Sightseeing
Mill Bay has a wonderful, sheltered sandy beach, opposite Salcombe. Passenger ferry makes regular trips across. Parking is in National Trust car park. Safe, shallow waters for a dip, lovely with small children.
Great walk up through car park and woods to Gara Rock Hotel. Stop at breathtaking outside tables for great fish and chips, afternoon tea, wine etc and marvel at the views. Then either take the path down to the left to lovely sheltered cove and swim or take the SW Coastal path to right and complete circular walk back to car taking in amazing cliff top views of bay. Stunning!
