The Reserve is situated at the eastern end of the esplanade at Budleigh Salterton and comprises the River Otter and adjacent salt marsh areas from the estuary northwards to White Bridge, on the eastern end of the public footpath. The Reserve also includes the reed beds on the western side of the footpath. There are four display boards and a hide either side of the river together with two viewing platforms.
The whole area is managed by the Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust on behalf of Clinton Devon Estate. The Trust with the agreement of the tenant farmer have developed and are continuing to develop scrape areas which do not form part of the Reserve but these have added a tremendous diversity to the area.
