The document describes several coastal features around Torquay, including a discordant headland, a series of alternating headlands composed of schists and bays of slate and sandstone, the River Dart which deposits sediment along the coast, contributing to the local sediment cell, Salcombe harbor which is a popular natural harbor, and the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where tourists enjoy coastal scenery.
