St Martin's

Beach lovers paradise & divers' delight

St martins beach, Isles of Scilly

Even in an archipelago renowned for its beaches, the soft silver sands of St Martin’s take pride of place. The island is also home to a vineyard, water sports centre and a thriving flower farm.

Great Bay sweeps along St Martin’s east shore. Low tide sees it join up with neighbouring Little Bay and exposes even more sand on adjoining White Island.

Sights & Activities

You can explore the crystal waters by hiring a kayak or paddleboard from St Martin’s Watersports. Or heading out on a wildlife-scheme accredited Scilly Seal Snorkelling trip.

A visit to St Martin’s Vineyard could see you touring the vines and indulging in an alfresco tasting of their white, red and rose wines.

Sleeping, Eating & Drinking

The island is also home to the incredibly plush Karma hotel, the blissfully basic St Martin’s Campsite, the brilliant Island Bakery and the Seven Stones Inn – a one-room pub with a terrace with sweeping sea views.
