Getting around the islands

The main islands — St Mary’s, Tresco, St Martin’s, Bryher, and St Agnes — are well-connected by a network of small boats operated by the St Mary’s Boatmen’s Association and other local services, leaving from the quay daily.

On St Mary’s, the largest island, you can explore by foot or rent a bicycle to reach its charming corners, while the smaller islands are compact enough to navigate entirely on foot, offering scenic trails and quiet lanes.
