Safe Beaches
East Portlemouth is actually made up of a number of small beaches - Fishermans Cove, Smalls Cove and Kingsgrove's very own Mill Bay - so you can hunt down your very own secluded spot. All the beaches have won Safe Bathing status so if you bring the kids then you know that the water is shallow, clean and safe for paddling. At low tide you’ll find loads of shallow rock pools, which will keep budding marine biologists or just kids who love looking at critters occupied for hours. If you fancy a nibble & don't feel like Bar-B-Qing in the Kingsgrove Boathouse, then pop to Venus café, located just by the passenger ferry over to Salcombe, which serves local and organic food. Try their traditional Devon cream tea for a spot of self-indulgence and a good dollop of Devon clotted cream.  There are plenty of activities available close by, go to our ​Things to do page for more details.
