At the end of August the annual 5 day Regatta is held with special events including swimming and rowing for all, including visitors. This is one of the busiest events of the year with revelries going on late into the night.
Barbecues and parties are also held on both Shaldon Beach, and the Ness. This beautiful and secluded sandy stretch is reached via the Smugglers Tunnel, just up from the magnificent Ness Hotel and Shaldon Wildlife Trust. At night the aroma of log fires, sausages and burgers waft around the village and frequent outburst of laughter can be heard. The tunnel leading down to this beach is thought to have been constructed in Napoleonic times.
