South Devon, UK, 10th May 2011 (PressReleasePoint) - With the likes of sailing and surfing, as well as endless other popular all weather local attractions, the South Hams has plenty to do for the whole family. This area has a fabulous shoreline, meaning there are all kinds of water sports you can try, from body boarding to kayaking, jet skiing to canoeing. If you would like to stick to dry land, experience the stunning South Devon Coast Path, which offers miles of walking opportunities. Enjoy the dramatic breathtaking views and walk amongst beautiful flora and fauna only found in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The path meanders past secluded coves and sandy beaches, perfect for a family picnic, games, sunbathing and sandcastle building.

Alternatively, the local towns of Salcombe, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge all offer something slightly different and are well worth a visit.
