Is there anything on the other side of the estuary from Salcobmbe? Or beyond the wonderful beaches of the Salcombe estuary (most of the best ones actually belong to East Portlemouth) is it just a wild place of mythical bears and their hunters? The answer to this is yes, there is so much to discover once you brave the hill and strike out East. Once out of sight of Salcombe the South Hams does not just disappear into some kind of green and brown no-mans-land. On the East Portlemouth side of the estuary you are entering the Southernmost area of Devon. East Prawle is Devon’s Southernmost village. It is rural over here and it is quiet – just how we like it. The South West Coastal path between Mill Bay and Start point has to be one of the most beautiful and spectacular sections of the whole thing (quite a feat).
