The islands

St Martin´s


Map of St Martin’s

Stretching just two miles long, St Martin’s is the third largest island in the stunning Isles of Scilly archipelago. It’s also the first island you’ll see when you travel with us from the mainland – whether by sea or by air.


Walk to the Day Mark

One of our favourite walks on St Martin’s takes you up to the iconic Day Mark. Standing tall on the islands highest point – Chapel Down – this striking red and white tower was built in 1683 and is hard to miss. It’s a fantastic spot to enjoy breathtaking views across the Isles of Scilly.

The perfect beach destination

The only difficult thing when visiting St Martin’s is deciding which beach you’ll visit. All around the island, you’ll find white, sandy coves that slope gently into crystal-clear water – each one more tempting than the last.
