The Beauty of Spring Time Scenery

As march rolls in, South Sands Salcombe transforms into a breaking tableau of blooming flowers and lush greenery. The coastal views are particularly stunning this time with the sunlight dancing on the water and the vibrant colours of spring creating a picturesque backdrop for your visit.

Take a leisurely stroll along the beach to fully absorb the beauty around you. The fresh sea breeze and the sound of waves crashing against the shore.OR take a gentle wander up to Overbeck’s Garden, perched above the bay. Its subtropical plants, bright spring blooms and sweeping sea views make it one of Salcombe’s most enchanting spots. Especially in early spring, when everything bursts into life. Don’t forget your camera!

With the arrival of spring, outdoor activities abound at South Sands. Whether you are into hiking, kayaking or simply exploring nature walks, there is something for everyone. The nearby coastal paths offer breathtaking views and a chance to spot local wildlife.

For the more adventurous, consider paddleboarding along the coast or a sailing lesson to experience the beauty of the sea up close. These activities provide an exhilarating way to enjoy the stunning landscape and the invigorating spring air.

Tips for a Memorable Visit

To make the most of your visit in March, consider planning your trip during the week to avoid the weekend crowds. This will allow you to explore at your own pace and enjoy the tranquility of the area.

Spring can be unpredictable so we recommend packing a few coastal essentials too: a little suncream for the brighter spells, a reusable water bottle to stay refreshed, a lightweight waterproof and a cosy layer for when the wind drifts in off the water. You will be ready for your adventures around Salcombe, whatever the weather.
