Simply wonderful place. The sea is such a beautiful colour here. Great island food & hospitality.

There are two piers where the inter-island boats land on St Martin's, here at Higher Town and one at Lower Town. They are both used depending on the weather and tides. Boats sail from St Mary's and back every day, the times are posted at the pier the day before so check when you need to travel. There is always a boat that leaves St Mary's about 30mins after the Scillonian arrives so you will always be able to get to St Martin's if you are staying there.
