Perfectly situated on the coastline of South Devon, Shaldon is a pretty little town with historic connections to the fishing industry, and a peaceful, slow pace of life. It's less commercial than some of the other towns in Devon, so it's an ideal spot to book a holiday cottage accommodation and enjoy everything from sea walks to independent arts and fine food in between. Want to travel a little further afield? No problem - simply choose your accommodation and take a short journey to Cove Ness Beach, Teignmouth Beach, or one of the other many famous Devon attractions.
Enjoy Shaldon's Culinary Scene
From your Shaldon accommodation you can really explore Devon's famous gastronomic scene to its fullest. Pop into town to enjoy the freshest seafood, caught just that day by local fishermen.
Treat yourself to a Devonshire cream tea or ice-cream, with huge scones straight out of the oven and the freshest clotted cream - or have a taste of local Devonshire fudge, which is a huge hit with kids of all ages.
If you love fine dining, independent wines and ales you'll also be in for a treat - it's worth noting that some of the best gastropubs in the area also have on-site accommodation if you fancy pairing your wine with your food courses!
Experience The Best of Shaldon
The main attraction in the town is Shaldon Beach, and there's an excellent range of fishing holiday cottage accommodation within walking distance. At the beach, you can enjoy paddling, sailing, swimming and rock pool exploring, as well as a Devon cream ice-cream or two!
Nearby Ness Cove Beach is home to an ancient smuggler's tunnel and Sea Sports South West at Teignmouth is the perfect spot to try stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking.
The South West Coast Path is well worth exploring if you like to walk, and there's a particularly good walk over to Labrador Bay, with Lyme View in the distance on a clear day.
