In this 'you may also like' section we attempt to answer what else can I do? Here you have a list by order of being the closest some more beaches, things to see and do, places to eat and upcoming events.
- St Martin’s Bay Beach is a stretch of multiple bays and coves split by some rock outcrops, great sand backed by sand dunes. You have from the south Wine Cove, Great Bay, Little Bay and The Cove beaches. At the northern point, you have a sandbar that leads from The Cove to White Island. Out in the bay, you have a few rocks, Little Merrick Ledge, Great Merrick Ledge and Anthony. This is an unspoilt part of the St Martin’s coast which due to the sheltered beach is great for swimming and snorkelling, although you will not find any facilities.
- Lawrence’s Bay beach is a long south-facing sandy beach that stretches the length of the island between Higher Town and Lower Town. The beach is backed by sand dunes and at low tide you get plenty of rockpools to explore. This is a long beach and facilities are close by within either Higher Town or Lower Town.
- Adams Fish and Chips is a family run restaurant and take away situated at Higher town on St Martin’s in the Scillies. We serve island caught fish and make most of our chips from potatoes grown on our family farm. The shop has a large indoor seating area and picnic tables under a canopy outside. Friendly and quiet dogs are allowed outside or under the canopy seating, but not inside the main building.
- Round Island, the most northerly outpost of the Scillies is a 40m mass of granite, the top forming a platform on which Trinity House built a lighthouse and dwellings in 1887 under conditions of extreme difficulty. The sheer rock face made the unloading of building materials almost impossible. Today the only access, apart from by helicopter, is by a flight of steps out into the solid rock.
- Higher Town Bay beach is a curving sandy bay backed by sand dunes along with a landing quay at the western end. The facilities at the beach include car parking and toilets.
- Pentle Bay Beach is an unspoilt white sandy beach on the southeast of Tresco. The beach has no facilities.
- Perpitch Beach is a small sandy beach with some rocks to the east of Higher Town Bay that never gets busy. The beach is a horseshoe shape and is protected from winds making this a good wild swimming beach. The beach has no facilities, but you are not too far from Higher Town.
- Tresco Abbey Gardens are located over 17 acres on the island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly. The gardens were established in the nineteenth-century by Augustus Smith. At the entrance to the garden is the Visitor Centre with a gift shop, a cafeteria and a history room.
- King Charles’s Castle is a ruined artillery fort on Tresco built between 1548 and 1551 to protect the Isles of Scilly from French attack. A semi-hexagonal structure to provide a wide field of fire and two-storey to give at least two tiers of guns. The domestic quarters for the garrison were at the rear.
- Cromwell’s Castle guards the anchorage between Bryher and Tresco. The castle has a round tower and is one of the few surviving Cromwellian fortifications in Britain, built after the conquest of the Royalist Scillies in 1651.
- Appletree Bay beach is approximately 1 km of fine white sand backed by sand dunes that look out over the Tresco Flats towards Bryher and Samson. The beach has no facilities.
- Innisidgen Lower and Upper Burial Chambers includes two Bronze Age communal burial cairns.
