<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
Salcombe is a prestige coastal village perched on the western slopes of its estuary.<br />
There are small beaches tucked away on both sides of this drowned river valley or “Ria.”<br />
Being sheltered from the open sea it is a very popular<br />
focal point for leisure craft, yachts and holiday-makers.<br />
Placed as it is in the far south of Devon, it enjoys mild, calm<br />
and balmy conditions between May and September.<br />
Occasional winter storms can certainly churn even this<br />
serene scene a few times each year.<br />
It is so popular in summer that May and September <br />
may be the best times to visit, as congestion can become a problem.<br />
Many people retire to this area to enjoy such vistas, every day.</p>
