Hope Cove is a quiet, unspoilt fishing village with two sandy beaches ideal for boating and swimming, a Post Office and a Pub.

There are spectacular clifftop walks with Thurlestone, Bantham and Bigbury in one direction or Salcombe a breathtaking in more ways than one 8 mile walk in the other.

The sea around the bay is unusually clear, there have been over 30 shipwrecks in the area attracting divers and the safe waters are ideal for windsurfing and sailing.

Across Harbour Beach lies Inner Hope, this was the original village.

The Old Lifeboat House is at the head of the slipway beyond this are the fishermen's cottages and a traditional Devon Square which is surrounded by old thatched cottages unspoiled by modern development.

Not far away and easily reached are Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, Totnes, all small market towns with a variety of individual shops perfect for that unique gift. Thurlstone and Bigbury are nearby for a game of golf. The cities of Plymouth and Exeter are within an hour in each direction for bargain hunting in the larger stores.
