St Martin’s is the north-easternmost inhabited island of the Isles of Scilly. Its landscape is defined by low heathland, granite outcrops, and a series of small bays with clear waters. The settlement is dispersed, with a primary cluster around Higher Town and a smaller one at Lower Town, linked by quiet lanes. Agriculture, particularly flower farming, and tourism shape the local economy, with a focus on quiet, self-catering holidays.
The island's eastern coast features a notable tidal sandbar connecting it to the uninhabited island of White Island at low tide. This creates a vast, exposed area of sand and rock pools. The western side offers sheltered anchorage in St Martin’s Bay, with views towards Tresco and Bryher. The entire ward is known for its sense of quiet isolation and exceptional visibility of the night sky.
