The island of St Agnes measures approximately a mile or so across. This charming island, part of the Isles of Scilly, offers a remarkable diversity within its compact size.
Despite its modest dimensions, St Agnes is known for its wonderful contrasts, showcasing a varied landscape. Visitors can experience rugged, rocky outcrops on its more exposed western side, while simultaneously discovering tranquil paradise beaches nestled in its sheltered coves. The island is also notable for its connection to its closest neighbour, Gugh, to which it is joined by a natural sandbar at low tide, further enhancing its unique character. This geographical feature allows for easy exploration of both islands during certain tidal conditions, highlighting how even a small area can offer significant natural beauty and accessibility.
