An island of contrasts, where small enclosed flower fields lead down to sandy, sheltered beaches and crystal waters; where wild and beautiful heathland reaches out to the rugged cliffs; where granite cottages shelter against the hillside overlooking the small boats that ride at anchor in the bay.

A quiet island with space and beauty, St.Martin's has breathtaking views on all sides from the vast expanse of Great Bay to the secluded tranquillity around the Old Quay. Uncrowded and unpolluted, the beaches on St.Martin's are amongst the finest in Europe and must be unrivalled for a family holiday.

Facilities on St.Martin's are excellent and include a craft bakery and specialist food producer, a general store and sub-post office, a quality hotel and superb guest house, self-catering and camping accommodation. The more active can play tennis, go sailing, play cricket, shoot clay pigeons, play bowls and take part in barn dances. There are also two art galleries and wonderful tea gardens.
