About St Mary's Island England
St Mary's Island is the largest island in the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago situated off the southwestern coast of Cornwall. Operating as a tranquil port of call on itineraries around the British Isles, cruise ships drop anchor in the sheltered waters off Hugh Town along the island's western coast. Tender boats transport passengers directly to the quay, landing them in the heart of the main settlement. Covering roughly seven square kilometers with a population of around 2,000 residents, the island offers an intimate, relaxed atmosphere where traditional maritime life flourishes.
A shore excursion reveals centuries of coastal fortifications and ancient archaeological sites seamlessly integrated into the landscape. Perched above Hugh Town stands Star Castle, an eight-pointed fortress constructed in 1593 under the orders of Queen Elizabeth I following the Spanish Armada. The surrounding Garrison Walls provide an extensive coastal defense system spanning nearly four hundred years of military history. Further inland on a coastal hilltop lies Bant's Carn, an exceptionally preserved Bronze Age burial chamber dating back almost four thousand years.
The natural beauty of the coastline features over thirty miles of scenic nature trails connecting secluded coves and white sand beaches. Porthcressa Beach, located just steps from Hugh Town, offers fine sand and clear turquoise waters ideal for peaceful strolls. The surrounding marine reserve nurtures vibrant underwater kelp forests and supports one of the largest breeding populations of Atlantic grey seals in Europe. Landward, the island serves as a sanctuary for tame songbirds like starlings and song thrushes that thrive in the mild maritime climate.
Charming local galleries, family-run cafes, and historic pubs in Hugh Town provide welcoming spots to enjoy fresh seafood and traditional Cornish cream tea before returning to the ship.
St Mary's Island appeals to outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, and coastal cruisers seeking ancient fortifications, diverse wildlife, and peaceful island scenery. You can record your cruise that anchored at St Mary's Island to your account on The Cruise Globe.
