Location
Salcombe is an extremely affluent and popular coastal town in the South Hams district of Devon, south west England. The town lies on the banks of the Salcombe Estuary and it widely regarded as one of the prettiest towns in South Devon and one of the UK’s most desirable waterside destinations, known for its exceptional coastal views and position within an Area of Outstanding National Beauty (AONB).
The town’s extensive waterfront and naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary have made the location hugely successful as a maritime haven, with a thriving economy centred around pleasure sailing and yachting. The town is a major tourism destination, with a peak season population extending to nearly 25,000 and approximately 39% of all households being classified as second or holiday homes.
The local economy caters for affluent clientele, with a range of boutique retailers, art galleries, nautical associated businesses and an abundance of places to eat and drink. The town is accessed via the A381, which in turn links with the A38, providing connectivity to Plymouth and Cornwall in the west and the M5 at Junction 31 at Exeter in the east.
