Beaches
There is a beach less than 2 minutes walk from the apartment, reached via a gently rising and falling path. The popular beaches of Lannacombe and the quieter but no less beautiful Mattescombe are less than five minutes by car, whilst Slapton Sands and Blackpool beach are less than fifteen minutes away, and there are dozens of other beaches, inlets and rias to explore nearby - Mill Bay as well as the usually more crowded North and South Sands beaches in Salcombe are recommended.This variety of locations allows you skim stones, build sandcastles, explore rock pools, swim either alone or with lifeguards around (in season), and you can usually find a sheltered location no matter what the wind direction.
Walking
The South Coast coastal path runs directly outside Prospect House, making it an ideal base for walking the clifftops and seashore. A forty minute walk talks you to the Start Point lighthouse, whilst less time in the other direction brings you to The Cricket Inn, a pub serving excellent food at Slapton Sands.Local Towns
Salcombe and Dartmouth are the two main tourist towns nearby, both about 20 minutes by car, offering all amenities and activities. Kingsbride is the town closest by car, and there are numerous villages, most with highly agreeable pubs, spread over the area.Recommended Pubs
The Cricket Inn is the closest pub, easily reachable by car or via a picturesque walk along the coast (25 minutes of undulating clifftop path with great views and wild flowers: a torch for the return journey is recommended if it's after dusk). It serves a wide range of predominantely seafood-based dishes, good beer, and has a friendly atmosphere and staff.The Pig's Nose, at East Prawle, is also close by, and is renowned for its friendly (and child-friendly) atmosphere, excellent events, and hearty food.
