Salcombe, Coastal town in South Hams, Devon, England.

The town stretches along the western bank of Kingsbridge Estuary, featuring a natural harbor and multiple sandy beaches along the coastline.

Fort Charles, constructed under King Henry VIII's reign, stood as the final Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War until Parliament forces dismantled it.

The Salcombe Yacht Club Regatta takes place each August, bringing together competitors from various dinghy classes for maritime competitions and festivities.

The town contains 820 households and maintains direct access to the water, with facilities for boat launching, sailing instruction, and water sports equipment rental.

Salcombe recorded the highest property values outside London, resulting in a substantial number of second homes and affecting local housing availability.
