About Salcombe

Salcombe perches at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, where sheltered waters meet the Channel. This former fishing port has become Devon's premier sailing destination, with its deep harbour and mild climate drawing boaters year-round. From London, take the M3 and A303 to Exeter, then A38 south and A381 via Totnes and Kingsbridge. Regional routes include the A379 from Plymouth and A381 from Exeter. About 16 fast chargers serve the area. North Sands beach remains accessible only by foot, ferry, or water taxi.
