Salcombe is a popular resort town in the South Hams district of Devon, south west England. The town of Salcombe is close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, mostly built on the steep west side of the estuary.
Salcombe lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Salcombe extensive waterfront and the naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary gave rise to its success as a boat- and shipbuilding and sailing port and, in modern times, tourism especially in the form of pleasure sailing and yachting. Salcombe is also home to a traditional shellfish fishing industry. Salcombe is part of the electoral ward of Salcombe and Malborough.
Salcombe and Kingsbridge estuary lies between Bolt Head and Sharpitor on the west and Portlemouth Down on the east, and runs inland for some 8.6 kilometres, with numerous side channels. The estuary is actually a ria or drowned valley caused by rising sea levels rather than a true estuary: in total the estuary covers an area of 674ha of which 446 ha are inter-tidal. At high water the length of 'coast' within the ria is 48.6 km. Although there are no major water courses entering the estuary, its total catchment area is 6800 ha (or 68 km2). The estuary was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in February 1987 and is also a Local Nature Reserve. Furthermore, in 2014 the European Sea Ports Organisation awarded the harbour Eco-Port status.
Further into the estuary on the east side are a series of popular sandy beaches: Sunny Cove (nearest the bar), the large Mill Bay, Cable Cove (the landing point of a cross-channel cable), Small's Cove and Fisherman's Cove. Adjacent to Fisherman's Cove is a landing slip used by the ferry — open-topped clinker-built motorboats — from Salcombe directly across the estuary, communicating with the hamlet of East Portlemouth (and much used by tourists for access to the beaches).
Although Salcombe harbour hosts a small but active shell fishing fleet of approximately 20 boats (the largest of which is less than 20m in length) the harbour is primarily a recreational leisure port which accommodates approximately 1600 residential yachts and power vessels. Salcombe Yacht Club hosts the Salcombe Yacht Club Regatta every August, attracting up to 400 dinghies in 10 or more dinghy classes plus handicap fleets. The Salcombe Yawls take pride of place as they were all designed and built in Salcombe using traditional boatbuilding techniques.
The Salcombe Town Regatta and sailing regatta form a very popular and busy fortnight in Salcombe. The order in which they run switches each year and usually coincides with favourable tidal conditions for the various events. The Salcombe Town Regatta is the busiest week in the calendar year.
