About

Salcombe & Thurlestone ward encompasses the estuary town of Salcombe and the coastal parish centred on Thurlestone village. The area is defined by the Salcombe and Kingsbridge estuary, a large, intricate tidal inlet. The landscape includes sandy beaches like South Sands and North Sands, alongside cliffs and farmland. The town itself is a centre for boating and sailing, with a waterfront lined with marine businesses.

A notable coastal feature is Thurlestone Rock, a natural arch in the offshore slate. The area includes the settlements of Batson, South Huish, and part of the South West Coast Path. The local economy is connected to tourism, maritime activities, and agriculture. The geography creates a distinct environment separate from the more open coast elsewhere in the South Hams.
