South Sands Ferry

Salcombe

Welcome to 2024! This winter has seen a major refit in Plymouth for Harvest Reaper. She will be back in service on April 17th

Carrying foot passengers, prams and dogs the South Sands Ferry is a rare opportunity to travel by boat and experience the famous 'Sea Tractor', which travels out into the water to greet the ferry as it arrives at South Sands Beach.

The South Sands passenger Ferry runs between Whitestrand, in the centre of Salcombe, and the picturesque beach of South Sands, located at the entrance to Salcombe harbour.

Sometimes hectic, sometimes quiet, but always exciting!
