Below tells you a bit more about St Martins taken from our Bed & Breakfast brochure if anyone would like to discover this beautiful Island then please email me.St Martins is the third largest and most northerly of the five inhabited islands that make up the Isles of Scilly. It is two miles long and half a mile wide and is home to about 95 residents. The islands are renowned for their beauty, peace and tranquillity and St Martins is especially known for its unspoilt and uncrowded white sandy beaches and varied landscape, from the far stretching sand flats to the rugged cliff tops at Daymark.St Martins has a wealth of activities to suit all interests. The crystal clear waters encourage a variety of water sports including canoeing and diving with qualified instructors from the Island’s Diving Centre. Boating is a way of life here and visitors can either hire their own boat or enjoy daily excursions to the four other inhabited islands. Also available are fishing trips, tours around the uninhabited islands, trips out to Bishop Rock Lighthouse, and the excitement of following the ‘Dolphin’ and ‘Galatea’ as their crews compete in the twice weekly inter-island gig rowing races. The breathtaking views, beautiful wild flowers and exotic plants make walking a pleasure and bird walks can be enjoyed with an RSPB guide. Sporting facilities on the Island also include an excellent tennis court.The Scillies are an artist’s paradise and a wide variety of arts and crafts are produced in studios on every island. St Martins has two art galleries and a gift shop. Other facilities on the Island include a Post Office, a bakery, a first class hotel, a family friendly pub and a tea room
