Sunny Cove
Sunny Cove sits tucked away across the estuary from Salcombe, directly opposite the busy North and South Sands beaches — you'd never guess somewhere this quiet was so close. You can anchor off and swim ashore, with gentle waves making it one of the more relaxed swimming spots on this stretch of coast. Getting here by water is the smart move, since the only alternative is a 10-minute woodland walk with no road access.
