2026 South Hams District Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

#summervacay Salcombe is the ultimate hidden gem among British seaside towns — easily the most chill, artistic, postcard-perfect coastal town I’ve been to! 💛 🔹 The Best of British Seaside Turquoise waters, little boats, and white cottages — every corner looks like a postcard. It feels a bit like Cornwall, but more low-key and less touristy. 🔹 Sailing Paradise ⛵️ This is a favourite summer spot for the UK’s “old money” crowd. The annual sailing events here bring such a great vibe — even if you don’t sail, it’s fun to watch! 🔹 Perfect for Slow Living 🪁 No big-city noise — just stroll in a sundress, carry a tote bag, eat ice cream, and slow down time 🍦. 📸 Must-Visit Spots: 1️⃣ South Sands Beach Soft sand, surrounded by greenery — plus you can hop on a cute water taxi back to town! Super photogenic. 2️⃣ Overbeck’s Garden & Museum A dream spot for plant lovers — tropical garden meets ocean view. Perfect for outfit photos! 3️⃣ Mill Bay Beach Across from South Sands — take a tiny boat over. White sand, clear water — locals love walking dogs and hanging out here. 4️⃣ Cliff Road Walk Stunning coastal walk along the cliffs — fresh sea breeze, sailboats in the distance. Total peace. #summer #myitinerary #travel #naturalwonders #beachlife #seascapes #thingstodo #staycation

#ZeroYenTrip I went to Totnes, England. You can get to England from Amsterdam by train for a very reasonable price! Riverside Cafe A lovely little shop where you can have a light meal. It's a bit pricey. Coffee and a cup of cereal cost a total of £35. I will definitely come back for lunch next time. It's very clean and the staff are friendly. I recommend it. 📍Steamer Quay Rd, Totnes TQ9 5AL, United Kingdom

I went to Schumacher College, one of my goals for the UK! 👨🎓✨ Rather than sightseeing, it felt more like a place to study, and it was a very stimulating experience. We celebrated a classmate's birthday together, sang songs together on the last day, and... I returned home thinking that it's also great to go on a learning trip like this, rather than just for sightseeing!
