Shopping
The shop in East Prawle is good for the basics, and also has newspapers, bread and quite a few extras, well worth a visit. There is a bakery and grocery in Frogmore, a butchers in Chillington and Torcross, a farm shop (with butchers) at Stokenham, and the excellent Ashby's general store at Charleton garage (also with an extensive shop selling outdoor clothing and sports equipment). You can also buy fish from Britannia Shellfish on the beach at Beesands. Please support the local shops as much as you possibly can, if you need to do a more extensive shop Kingsbridge has a fairly good range.
