Across the water

Super fruits de mer at the Crab Shed last night.

On the opposite side of the estuary is the hamlet of East Portlemouth. Lots of good walks start here. We get there on a little ferry boat.

Views back to Salcombe.

The beach at Mill Bay – completely deserted.

We’re heading for a place on the coast called Gara Rock. There’s an old coastguard lookout point here. As well as looking out for ships in distress, the coastguards were watching out for smugglers.

The coastal path takes us back towards Salcombe. It’s in surprisingly good condition considering the storm we had on Wednesday.

North Sands, and South Sands.

The wind started picking up later on, and the boat ride back across to Salcombe was pretty chilly. On the whole though we’ve been very lucky with the weather.
