Salcombe North Sands Beach
Salcombe North Sands Beach is another AONB which is located between two headlands. The beach retains it rural charms despite being close to the town of Salcombe with all its amenities. The beach is only available during low tide as it is totally submerged during high tides. Dogs are welcome all year round.
Mill Bay Beach
Just south of East Portlemouth beach you will find Mill Bay which is a privately owned beach. Mill Bay beach has become popular with families thanks to the clean and safe bathing waters and the stunning AONB which the beach lies in.
