Beautiful area, the beach itself is a little small so could get cramped if busy, but the beach bar provides everything you could want, and had great covid protections/systems in place. The best views come from a short walk along the coastal path... Honestly it's a crime to not take a quick peek from the top 😍 The road down to the area is tiny (I'm not sure if there is an alternative but I couldn't find one) so if you have a large vehicle, take care! There is parking in a National Trust car park at a flat rate of £6 (payment by phone) for the whole day, plenty of...

Loved this unspoilt small sandy beach, with nice views of wooded cliffs and Salcombe Estuary.

Enjoy the sun in this sheltered cove or take the South Sands Passenger Ferry to Salcombe, using the Sea Tractor to board the boat.

Lots of tiny boats are moored just off the shoreline making for a picturesque scene. If you fancy a walk to nearby North Sands Beach, it's just a mile along the...

It is a very nice beach with a lovely view, but if you want to go travel there in the smallest car you can find as the roads to these beaches are ridiculously small with tight bends and single track roads with only small passing places. My son was driving and he should get a medal for his manoeuvring, I kept shutting my eyes as I didn't think we could...

Kicking off the great British summer with a download from last weekend on the stunning Devon coast, staying at the super cool hotel @harbour_beachclub. ☀️☀️☀️⛱️🐚🍷🦀❤️🇬🇧 We had the perfect mix with the warmest weekend so far this year, a stunning coastline, cute pubs and great company. If you’re after a weekend away over summer this beautiful part of Devon is a winner. Absolutely loved it!! The hike along the coastline is stunning, covered with lots of wild flowers right now and if you’re lucky you may spot a few seals sunning themselves. Big big thank you to @harbour_beachclub for such a wonderful stay. We had a cosy room right on the beachfront. Loved waking up to the sound of the waves ☺️☀️☀️See below tips of what to do in Salcombe. ⛱️☀️🐚 [Press invite] Need to know 🏖️ The hotel is right on South Sands Beach 🧘🏻Do morning yoga to kick start the day 🚶🏻‍♀️Hike the stunning coastal path. ⛴️Take the @southsandsferry into Salcombe 🍦 Grab an icecream and wander along the seaside 🍺 Head to the Ferry Inn for a drink and watch the boats go by. 🥃 Try gin tasting at @salcombegin 🚣‍♀️ Hire a sea kayak from @sea_kayak_salcombe #visitengland #visitdevon #salcombe #harbourhotels #uk #englishcountryside #uktravel #countrylife #countrylivingforever #countrystyle #englishgarden #greatbritain #england🇬🇧 #devonlife #dorsetlife #uktravel #salcombe

Really nice place. No public parking, only for hotel and restaurant guests but big parking on North sands. 10 min walk. Unless you disabled, you should be good. I saw even two fat people managed to do so, quite steep walk. Bar, food, coffee, public toilet, ferry if you need. 4pounds each way to centre, kayaks 30£ for 2ppl
