St Marys information...
Fly from Exeter Airport to the stunning Isles of Scilly and discover a truly unique island escape. At the heart of the islands lies St. Mary’s – the largest and most vibrant island, offering the perfect base to explore this remarkable destination just off the southwest coast of Cornwall.
With flights operating from March through October from Exeter Airport, getting to St. Mary’s is easy – bringing you closer to a world of white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and a relaxed pace of life that feels a million miles from the mainland.
At the centre of the island, Hugh Town is a charming hub filled with independent shops, cafés, galleries and eateries. Just moments away, you’ll find beautiful beaches where you can watch boats drift in and out of the harbour – perfect for soaking up the island atmosphere.
A short distance away is Old Town, a peaceful and historic area close to the airport. It’s home to the resting place of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson, adding a touch of national heritage to your visit.
Beyond its settlements, St. Mary’s reveals its wild beauty. Hire a bike and explore quiet lanes, coastal paths, and hidden corners like Harry’s Walls – the remains of a 16th-century fortification – or the dramatic Star Castle, perched on Garrison Hill with sweeping sea views.
For something different, enjoy a round at Isles of Scilly Golf Club, one of the UK’s most scenic courses, or relax on nearby Porthloo Beach. Venture further north to the breathtaking Watermill Cove or Bar Point and Halangy Downs, where unspoilt landscapes and historic remains create a true sense of escape.
St. Mary’s is just the beginning – each of the Isles of Scilly offers its own character, from tranquil off-islands to wildlife-rich shores. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or something truly different, this island destination promises an unforgettable experience.
Exeter Airport offers daily flights to St Marys from March to October with Skybus.
