This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.

South Sands beach lies just to the south of the seaside town of Salcombe in South Devon. The east facing beach is very sheltered and has excellent access making it popular with all types of beach goer and also the sailing fraternity. The sand has excellent castle building qualities and ther are also opportunities to hire kayaks, wetsuits and even catamarans from the beach shop and cafe.
