Salcombe Town Regatta
About Salcombe Town Regatta
Salcombe Town Regatta fills a week each summer with sailing, rowing and raft races on the harbour, plus the famous harbour swim. On land there is a fun run, the Floral Dance, a dog show, a boat show and a long list of children's events.
Highlights include the Island Street Party on the Sunday and the Thursday night fireworks over the estuary. Most of the regatta is free to watch, with small fees for some events, and every surplus goes back into local causes.
