About Scilly ... your guide from the official Isles of Scilly Tourism website
You may need to take a second look, to discover all the unique gems of the Islands. You may have a half-hour conversation with your hotel proprietor over breakfast, planning your day to suit your own individual interests and passions, and you may find that there are only a few of you waiting on the green for the next open top bus tour. That's because the Isles of Scilly offer you your own, special holiday experience. Arriving on the quay of an off-island, you may well wonder where the (one, unnamed) road takes you. There are no bright, intrusive signs. There are no highly polished thoroughfares. There are no loud and noisy theme parks or tourist 'attractions'. But you will find everything you are looking for ... miles of stunning beaches ... incredible eateries ... unusual local arts, crafts, and produce ... marine adventures from diving to kayaking to glass-bottomed boating ... amazing walking trails and wildlife areas ... family-friendly locals who welcome you like one of their own.
