Start Bay
The road to Start Point skirts the wide curve of Start Bay. The fertile region between the coast and Dartmoor is known as the South Hams. The road continues via Stoke Fleming, the beautiful bay called Blackpool Sands, and Strete, then south to Slapton Sands, sandbanks largely consisting of shingle which extend for almost 7mi/11km to Start Point. For the next 1.5mi/2.5km the road follows Slapton Ley, a freshwater lagoon.
