Everything you can do - On the Water
This is the perfect location for leisure and sport activities on and in the inland waters and sea estuaries. So many perfect places for surfing, kite surfing, kayaking or paddle boarding at Thurlestone Sands and Bantham.
Salcombe offers extensive boating activities with tuition for beginners or boat hire for the experienced sailor. Go on a scenic cruise from Dartmouth to see the wildlife on the River Dart. Maybe explore Sharpham Vineyard, or Agatha Christie's ‘Greenway’. Other trips venture out to sea to discover the stunning South Devon coastline. There are fishing trips organised from Salcombe. What about fishing on the River Avon?
We list here a selection of water based activities for your enjoyment with distance from Thurlestone:
