Best Beaches in Salcombe

Sandy shores, turquoise waters and sea views as far as the eye can see…

These are just a few of the beautiful perks of Salcombe beaches, and lucky for you we’re situated right on the shores of one of the very best.

A stones throw from our sister hotel's front door (Harbour Beach Club), South Sands Beach is one of the most beautiful and popular beaches here in South Devon thanks to its Blue Flag award, the un-spoilt clear blue waters and the unlimited hours of watersport activities waiting to be enjoyed.

Mill Bay & East Portlemouth

Ready for a day at the beach? Then pack a picnic and head to Mill Bay and East Portlemouth. Situated on the opposite side of the estuary from Salcombe town, these two Devon coves are some of the prettiest you’ll see.

01

Sunny Cove Beach

For those looking for a peaceful afternoon of swimming and reading on the sandy shores, Sunny Cove is a hidden treasure perfect for just that. Accessible only from the water or on foot from the South West Coast Path, this beach is a slice of heaven.

02

North Sands Beach

Nestled in a beautiful cove, North Sands Beach is a favourite for its shallow waters perfect for paddling with the little ones. This beauty of a beach is home to some of the very best eateries along the coast.
