St Martin's IOS





On my last full day on the Scilly Isles, the weather was glorious. I decided to visit St Martins, another of the islands. The island is just over two miles long with beautiful sandy beaches. It has one post office/ general stores, two cafes, a bakery and two quays.


.t
I decided I would have time to walk around the island before the boat returned to take us back to St Mary's island where I was staying.









The blackberries were very sweet and plentiful.













There is a hotel on the island and I decided to have some lunch there. I opted for a crab salad. It was delicious










I walked down onto this beach and sat down to admire the view and enjoyed listening to the sea lapping the shore.







Finally back on the boat after another fabulous day.

    Because it was such a cracker of a day, you will remember the Isles well. The sand looks quite white.

    It looks like you had the place to yourself. What a break from the hubbub of daily life.

    I love visiting islands - but I have never made its to the CIs. These picture make it very tempting. Maybe one day I will.
    Hope all is well.

    Honestly, this just might be my favorite of all your trips you’ve shared...the idea of staying on/visiting these beautiful islands really appeals to me.

    I enjoyed them all.
    That crab salad looks delicious :)
