The local area
Hallsands is a small pretty fishing village located on a stunning stretch of the South West Coast Path between Beesands, with its excellent pub, seafood shack and village store, and the Start Point Lighthouse, which is surrounded by magnificent, rugged coastline.
The village itself is steeped in history. In the early twentieth century a rare combination of high tides and a raging storm wreaked havoc, and by the storm's end only one house remained. The village was later rebuilt higher up the cliff face and now overlooks the remaining ruins which can be seen from a viewing platform, just off the coast path.
Hallsands is well-placed for visiting many of the most popular South Hams spots, including picturesque villages such East Prawle, Beesands and Torcross, and the larger coastal towns of Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. This area of South Devon is renowned for its beautiful beaches and unspoilt countryside.
A holiday cottage in Hallsands provides a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
