Overview of the week
The Salcombe Regatta has something for all ages: on the water, in the water, and on dry land. There are many events for children, including Spot the Bloomer, Children’s Sports and Parachuting Teddies. Those who enjoy athletic pursuits are well catered for with sailing, rowing, and raft races.
Throughout the week, Whitestrand Car Park is occupied by stalls, emergency vehicles, or the boat show. Two particular highlights of the week are the Island Street Party on Sunday, and the fireworks on Thursday. Throughout the week, a wide range of entertainment is available.
