South Sands

A beautiful bay amid yachts

SOUTH SANDS

South Sands is a bewitching bay set on the edge of Salcombe, a chic south Devon yachting haven lined with beaches and million pound homes.

The sandy cove is home to the cool Bo’s Beach Cafe and Sea Kayak Salcombe which rents out kayaks and paddleboards (£22 per hour). An impressive stretch of coast path stretches to the south.

Parking is a headache – the best way to arrive is to chug in on the unique South Sands Ferry, which uses a semi-submersible tractor-driven platform to help you ashore.
