Higher Town Quay on St Martin’s, Isles of Scilly

This live feed streaming from Carron Farm on St Martin’s in the Scilly Isles may well inspire you to forget foreign holidays for a while and consider vacationing in the UK instead. With a beach like this one, Par Beach near Higher Town on St Martin’s southwest coast, who needs the hassle of flying to the Mediterranean?

Beach lined bays isn’t all St Martin’s has to keep holidaymakers occupied either. The island may be less than one square mile in size, but it has a lot to offer and the bonus is – you don’t have to travel far to find what you’re looking for. Watersports, historical landmarks, vineyards, a rum distillery, an art gallery, hiking trails and boat trips are all within walking distance. And from spring through to autumn, the weather is pretty decent too. Add no flight delays to that scenario and what more could anyone ask for?
