There are several other sandy coves with rock pools, including 'Beady Pool' where children and adults alike hunt for beads buried in the sand from a 17th century shipwreck. The downland areas on both St Agnes and Gugh, where birds, butterflies and wild flowers abound are maintained, by the Isles of Scilly Environmental Trust , as sites of special interest. There are also sites of archaeological significance. Available locally, depending on season, are Scilly new potatoes, fresh fish and shellfish. A boat service provides opportunity to visit the other islands and to follow the weekly gig race.
Longer trips are also available to see birds and seals.
Fishing, tennis and cricket can be enjoyed by visitors to St Agnes. Bryher Bryher, the smallest community of the Isles of Scilly welcomes the visitor to share its peaceful, yet spectacular island. It is an island of contrasts. In spring there is a profusion of colour with wild flowers - daffodils and narcissi in every hedgerow and field corner. In autumn many migratory birds use Bryher as a resting place and gales frequently lash the western coast making Hell Bay an awe-inspiring sight.
