Each of these locations has the added benefit of offering beautiful places to sit and have afternoon tea, lunch or drinks at any time of the day.

Head to the likes of The Winking Prawn at North Sands for casual seafood, The Beach House at South Milton for dinner at sunset with the most exceptional views and local ice cream at Salcombe Dairy.
