Ferry runs from here to South Sands every 1/2 hour.
Ferry runs from here to South Sands every 1/2 hour. Another ferry runs to Kingsbridge and there are tours of the estuary.
There are quite a few places to eat although they are a bit expensive to eat out everyday. Best value in my opinion was the pasties(variety of fillings available) from the pasty shop then take a short walk to eat in the square where there is seating to view the estuary.
Visit the Salcome Dairy where they make ice cream lots of lovely flavours to choose from. They also make excellent chocolate bars.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to try Salcombe gin.

we visited Salcombe Yacht club for a formal lunch- the food there was very good and the ambience very welcoming.
parking can be a bit of a nightmare which is why we chose to stay at the Salcombe Harbour Hotel

I went in the first weekend of October, so Salcombe was quiet. It is pricey, but plenrty of choice for food and drink and familiar brands in the shops, as well as a few independent boutiques. Classy, but felt it was more geared to older adults.

It's an impossibly beautiful place perched on the side of the estuary. Like many desirable coastal destinations there is a beautiful old fishing village, which is sometimes difficult to see beneath the Multi million pound houses and holiday residences which dominate the narrow lines leading down to the harbour and the shops selling posh sailing togs to landlubbers that will never wear them again given they live in-land!
It's a bit like an English version of Positano. Or am I reaching here?
It is nonetheless beautiful with plenty of things to do on and around the water there are marvellous hotels and holiday rentals and it's a great base from which to explore the other towns along the coast.

A beautiful place to hang out, with a real buzz about it.
A beautiful place to hang out, with a real buzz about it. So much action in the water with people to’ing and fro’ing across and up and down the estuary on boats and SUP’s. Some great beaches within walking or ferry distance and a load of great self-catering places to stay, as well as hotels. A good choice of restaurants and pubs spotted around, many with fantastic views of the estuary and some nice independent shops and distilleries.

Cornwall council need to improve the roads.
Cornwall council need to improve the roads. We are not in 1904. This is a major UK destination and it needs a footpath to keep people safe and bays where people can pull in on the extremely narrow roads. Parking is a nightmare.. the council could do a park and ride scheme.
The shops are good with little boutique finds, welcoming and happy staff, Clean beaches and lovely busy atmosphere. The hotels are expensive but this reflects its a very nice destination.

Beautifully located lodge. End of row. Peaceful. Clean. Well equipped and very comfortable. The lodge has lots of lovely features that reflect its location. Local art work, nic nacs, lamps, furniture. Plenty of towels. 2 bathrooms is great. Good showers with lots of hot water and great water pressure. Lovely outside deck and seating area. Dog friendly. Located very close to an open dog exercise field. Short drive to Salcombe and surrounding villages. Lovely coastal walks nearby.
Really is a home from home.
The hotel is in a very good location overlooking South Sands beach and with a great view over the beach and sea from the restaurant. Breakfast was very good (we did not have dinner) and the restaurant and bar areas are very comfortable and appealingly decorated. Unfortunately the double room we were given was small and cramped with very little space to move around. The bed was comfortable but overall the room was disappointing for the price charged.
From start to finish, our stay at Gara Rock hotel was exceptional. Staff were really friendly and went above and beyond. The facilities and rooms were perfect and made even better with the fantastic views and food. We cannot wait to visit again. Also it was super dog friendly which was a big plus!
Chose a spa hotel as visiting in January and can’t depend on the weather to get out and about.
Room was clean and modern with lovely sea view, staff were very friendly.
We ate in restaurant 3 times and the food was excellent.
Views from the room and restaurant, of the beach, we’re fab.
