South Sands Ferry

Salcombe

As another great season draws to a close Harvest Reaper gets ready for a fresh coat of paint and a spruce up. We look forward going back afloat in March 2025 and welcoming back both old and new. 

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!
