Marinas in this destination have not yet been added to the catalogue.
St Mary’s is the centre of everyday life on Scilly: Hugh Town has shops, cafés and pubs, with island boats constantly coming and going at the quay. Beyond town, quiet lanes, small fields and open coast soon take over.
Sandy coves alternate with granite rocks and headlands projecting into the ocean. A walk around the old Garrison fortifications gives broad views of the neighbouring islands; Peninnis Head reveals a particularly rugged Atlantic shoreline.
