Salcombe is a beautiful place to visit in both summer and winter.
In the summer you can enjoy sun, sea, sand and watersports with great shopping, restaurants, pubs and entertainment in the form of thetown regatta,yacht club regattaand Salcombe festival. Salcombe has great beaches for the family and even in the height of summer the coast provides some great little hideaways you can find via the coast path or boat. The water is turquoise and the sand golden and the town is buzzing with visitors...
In winter things are slightly quieter! You can walk for hours on the coast path and not see another soul. The beaches are empty apart from the odd dog walker and the sea can be a spectacular cauldron of white water, or, if you catch it on a calm day it can look as inviting as any summer day! Most of the shops are still open and good pub food is available in the cute local pubs. If you walk round to the fish quay you could even go and buy fresh Salcombe scallops, crab and fish.
