South Milton is a small coastal parish in the South Hams district of Devon, England, set among rolling farmland and cliffs with access to the sandy foreshore known as South Milton Sands. The settlement is compact, with a mix of traditional stone and thatch buildings and a modest parish church, and the surrounding lanes and fields give it a distinctly rural, walker-friendly character.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, though tourism and holiday accommodation become important in summer; historically the parish grew around small manorial holdings and retains a quiet, community-minded feel with occasional village events. It’s valued for its tranquillity, coastal views and easy access to beach walks and wildlife-watching rather than busy commercial development.
