Discover St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly – Peaceful Beaches, Crystal Waters, and Island Escapes

St. Agnes – the most south-westerly island in the archipelago and one of the most peaceful, unspoilt islands in the UK. Just a mile across, St. Agnes offers a true island escape, where crystal-clear waters, golden beaches, and a slower pace of life make it perfect for a relaxing coastal getaway. At low tide, a beautiful sandbar connects St. Agnes to Gugh, creating a magical spot to explore on foot.

Places to Stay on St. Agnes

St. Agnes offers a small but wonderful choice of accommodation, from self-catering cottages to camping beneath the stars. Whether you’re planning a romantic break, a walking holiday, or a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, you’ll find authentic island stays and friendly local hosts.

Things to Do on St. Agnes

The island is full of natural contrasts — from wild rocky cliffs and flower fields to sandy coves and the historic St. Agnes Lighthouse. Wander the scenic coastal paths, explore the Troytown Maze, and hunt for shells and sea glass along the shore. Savour local flavours at the island café, treat yourself to ice cream from Troytown, or unwind with a pint at Britain’s most south-westerly pub.

For total tranquillity, cross the sandbar to Gugh, a tiny tidal island with rugged landscapes, ancient sites, and stunning sea views — the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
