East Portlemouth Beaches

Along with Sunny Cove, Mill Bay opposite Salcombe on Kingsbridge Estuary can be reached via a regular pedestrian ferry from Salcombe, there is also parking available. The beaches are lovely, there is a stream and good facilities.

Great place to sit and watch the coming and goings of the boats and ferries. It catches the evening sun so a lovely end to the day if the tides permit

Mill Bay

Lovely safe beach with best views of Salcombe! Constant stream running down one side- generations of children have dammed this stream- we often meet Granny and Grandpas with their grandchildren- and they remember doing the same with their grandparents!! Can beach dinghies and sailing boats or anchor RIB's offshore. NT carpark (with loo's) best visited before 10am to get a space or parking further back on road side. Best activity after stream damming is strolling northwards along the foreshore in the surf from Mill Bay up to the Venus cafe at East Portlemouth beach for an ice cream or cake and tea and then ambling back- or catching the foot passenger ferry over to Salcombe to peer in the trendy shops.
