Pack up the buckets and spades and head to the beach for the day. Hope Cove Beach is sheltered, sandy and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so it's ideal for families with young children.

You’ll also find some pretty cafés and shops here so you can stock up on sun cream or enjoy lunch overlooking the ocean. If you’ve got energetic teens in tow looking for something a little faster-paced, how about taking a trip on a speedboat around the coast? Or maybe have a go at sea kayaking before tucking into some fresh crab sandwiches.

From Hope Cove Beach, follow the coastal path to enjoy the natural beauty of Bolberry Down. Marvel at the Iron Age fort at Bolt Tail and learn about the shipwrecks of the shore before finding a secluded spot for a picnic for two. The scenery here is breathtaking. Walk through wildflowers as you listen to the sound of birdsong and waves gently lapping against the rocks. Could there be anywhere more romantic? Whisk your loved one away to Salcombe and find out.
