About Salcombe
Salcombe Harbour provides a natural haven for nature and humans alike. Birds flock here in thousands and the estuary supports a wealth of plant and fish life, some of which is extremely rare. The region's warm (almost Mediterranean) climate enables many species of plant to flourish here, even if they are found nowhere else in the United Kingdom. Dolphins and basking sharks are just some of the frequent visitors to the estuary waters, which also form one of the UK's most popular ports for yachtsmen.
A network of ferries operate from Whitestrand or the Ferry Steps at Low Tide, both of which are in the centre of town. These give an easy and rather special access to the beaches around the town of Salcombe, namely North and South sands at the harbour mouth and the beaches of East Portlemouth on the opposite bank of the estuary from the town.
