Islands provide natural attractions for artists and craftsmen and St. Mary's is no exception with many studios dotted about the island producing high quality pottery, paintings and crafts. St. Mary's offers everything a visitor would require to enjoy a lifetime of holidays. Tresco Tresco Estate has its own website which will tell you everything. St. Martin's St. Martin's is the third largest of the islands and is the first land you see, with the distinguishing Daymark, when crossing from the Mainland by sea or air. For the visitor who wants a quiet holiday we have much to offer.
Accommodation consists of self-catering cottages and chalets, guest houses, hotel and a camp site.
Take advantage of early and late holidays, come in the spring and see the late daffodils, or in the autumn when many feel the Islands are at their best and see some of the many birds on migration. From Easter to October there is a daily boat service to other Islands as well as fishing trips and special hire. From early May enjoy the evening trips to watch the famous gig races. A more limited service is available from October to April, but trips can always be arranged. There is plenty of scope for rock fishing, and dinghy sailing is popular in the sheltered waters of Highertown Bay.
