Welcome to the official website of Strete in Devon, England, which is managed by Strete Parish Council. Strete is about a fifteen minute drive from Dartmouth. It is to be found on the high coastal ground at the eastern end of Slapton Sands. It's a good place to stay if you like exploring the local beaches and is also convenient for Kingsbridge, Totnes and Salcombe. Strete is situated on the South West Coastal Footpath and, with a variety of accommodation in the village, it is an ideal location to take a break in your journey. Take time to relax and enjoy the beautiful AONB surroundings.

Slapton Parish Council forwarded the following comment from Cllr Julian Brazil: “My understanding, it’s just about making Slapton Village ‘Access Only,’ so the road isn’t physically closed it’s just to stop Sat Navs using the village as a rat run.”
Looks like this could be the case for 18 months until the A379 at Torcross is repaired and re-opened to traffic.
