Budleigh Salterton is a welcoming seaside town with a long, level promenade beside its famous pebble beach.

The compact town centre, close to the seafront, also offers a small selection of independent shops to browse.

Well-maintained paths follow the River Otter through open marshland and reed beds, offering lovely views and opportunities to spot wildlife.
