Season: summer
This is one of the most popular day sailing locations in the South West, attracting yachts from Cornwall and further afield, as well as Salcombe and other Devon marinas. Tucked away on a creek next to the River Yealm, there is a surprising range of facilities and leisure activities here. Access is also relatively good from Plymouth for those preferring an approach by land.
