Tillgänglighet
St Mary's is accessed by ferry from Penzance, or by air 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). If you walk the entire coastline of St. Mary’s, you’re likely to cover some 9 or 10 miles depending on the tide! For more ways to get around the island see link below.
