SALCOMBE | Tour of Salcombe - the BEST Devon holiday destination

Video Description

Salcombe in Devon is a stunning place for a summer holiday so in todays video we explore Salcombe from the shops and pubs to the restaurants, boats and yachts and lots more! So come with me and let's visit Salcombe together to see what this Devon holiday destination is like. Salcombe, nestled on the picturesque South Devon coast, is a quintessential holiday destination, drawing visitors with its stunning estuary views, golden beaches, and vibrant maritime atmosphere. From a visitor's perspective, it offers an idyllic escape, whether you're seeking relaxation on the sand or exhilarating water sports. The town itself is charming, with its narrow streets winding down to the bustling harbour, where a mix of fishing boats, yachts, and paddleboarders create a lively scene. Popular beaches like North Sands and South Sands are easily accessible and perfect for families, while those seeking more secluded spots can take a ferry across the estuary to discover the tranquil shores of East Portlemouth. The South West Coast Path also runs through Salcombe, providing breathtaking walks with panoramic views of the dramatic coastline. Beyond its natural beauty, Salcombe boasts a delightful array of independent shops and boutiques, making it a fantastic destination for retail therapy. You'll find everything from nautically inspired clothing at stores like Crew Clothing and Quba & Co to unique art galleries showcasing local talent. Don't forget to sample the famous Salcombe Dairy ice cream and the award-winning Salcombe Gin, both of which have in-town shops and distilleries offering tours and tastings. When it comes to dining and socialising, Salcombe has a strong pub scene, with establishments like The Victoria Inn, The Kings Arms, and The Ferry Inn offering hearty meals, local ales, and often spectacular estuary views. Many of these pubs are dog-friendly, adding to the town's welcoming atmosphere. The true essence of a Salcombe holiday often revolves around the water. Visitors can embark on various boat trips, from leisurely one-hour harbour cruises exploring the estuary's history and wildlife to more exhilarating RIB rides along the dramatic coastline, potentially spotting seals and other marine life. For those who prefer to be their own captain, hiring a boat is a popular option. Companies like Whitestrand Boat Hire offer self-drive boats of various sizes, allowing you the freedom to explore hidden coves, visit waterside pubs for lunch, or simply drop anchor and soak up the sun. No experience is typically required, with comprehensive briefings provided, ensuring even novice boaters can enjoy the Salcombe estuary at their own pace. Kayaking and paddleboarding are also readily available for hire, providing alternative ways to experience the serene waters. I hope you enjoyed this 4k walking tour.
