Starcross is a small coastal village on the eastern bank of the Exe Estuary in the district of Teignbridge, Devon, England. It sits beside a modest harbour and marina with open views across the estuary to Exmouth, and the surrounding mudflats and saltmarsh are important for wintering and migratory birds, making it a draw for birdwatchers and walkers on the South West Coast Path.
The village is served by a Victorian railway station on the Riviera Line, providing straightforward links to Exeter and the coast, and its economy blends tourism, boating and local services with a commuter and retirement population. There are still visible touches of 19th‑century maritime and railway heritage, and the community retains a relaxed, seaside character outside the summer season.
