This central area of Shaldon is where you'll find the heart of village life. It's very walkable, with the main street, Fore Street, running through it, lined with independent shops, cafes, and pubs.

The Shaldon Ferry also departs from here, connecting you to the larger town directly.

Families will find this area particularly appealing. With the beach right there, children can enjoy building sandcastles or paddling, and the nearby Ness Cove Beach (accessible via a historic tunnel) provides a more secluded spot for swimming.

The convenience of having everything within easy reach means less travel time and more time enjoying your holiday.
