Highlight • Cycleway
This road was built in 2002 after its predecessor was undermined by storms in 2001.
In December 1943, around 3000 residents around this area were evacuated for 12 months for top secret D-Day landing practice on Slapton Sands, chosen for its similarity to Normandy beaches.

View of Salcombe Harbour

If you are very lucky you may spot dolphins or basking sharks in the summer months. Salcombe itself is a pretty town with narrow streets and plenty of places to refuel and rehydrate.
