| Isles of Scilly Guide The Isles of Scilly consist of 140 small islands some thirty miles out from the Cornish coast. Most of these are uninhabited except by sea birds and seals but you can stay on any of the five main islands.
The main islands are, St Mary's, Tresco, St Martin's, St Agnes and Bryher - St Mary's is the largest island at 2 miles by 2.5 miles and has the largest population at around 900. The coast around many of the islands tends to be rugged as a result of the pounding of the Atlantic over the years. However there are good sandy beaches on St Mary's and St Martin's. The Isles of Scilly can be reached by air form Newquay, Penzance, Exeter and Bristol and by sea from Penzance on the Scillonian. There are boat trips from each of the main islands to the others on a daily basis. There are also trips to some of the uninhabited islands to see the sea birds and seals.
As you can imagine the islands are a popular stop over for yachtsmen but if you are sailing in this area care is needed in navigating the local waters around the islands. What to see in the Scilly Isles Boat Trips - Several companies on different islands offer trips around the islands. Fishing - Several companies offer fishing trips including shark fishing.
