St Agnes is a short ferry journey from St Mary's, the main island, which is accessed by ferry from Penzance, 35 miles away, or from Penzance airport. From March to November the ferry from Penzance sails once a day - generally leaving Penzance at 9.15am and arriving on St. Mary's (the main island) at 12noon, and departing again at 4.30pm arriving back in Penzance at 7.15pm.
The easiest way to get around the island is on foot – there are some lovely, scenic coastal and inland walks (pick up a map from the Tourist Information Centre in St mary's). If you walk the entire coastline, you’re likely to cover some 5 or 6 miles depending on the tide! Please respect the birding code of conduct on the link below.
