While accessible by car, the journey does takes around 35-40 minutes, so why not enjoy the adventure of taking the passenger ferry from Salcombe across the estuary? Its location is one reason why the beach tends to be a little quieter and more serene than its local rivals. Another great thing about this beach is that it is dog-friendly all year. Take your pooch for a splash and a romp with the rest of the family.
