Today would be the only day from our week long Isles of Scilly holiday where we wouldn't use the St Mary's Boatmens Association as we'd stay put and explore by cycling St Marys Isles of Scilly. Whilst there is golf cart hire on St Mary's we decided to go to St Mary's Bike Hire and explore the island on a set of 2 wheels each, mostly because St. Mary's is the largest island in the archipelago and getting around it all on foot in 1 day would prove difficult. On this day we cycled to the St Marys Nature Trail where we had to stash our bikes (unlocked might I add as it's THAT safe) and did a little Isles of Scilly walking to the Porth Hellick bird hide, along to Porth Hellick and swung back around to our bikes via the Holy Vale vineyard. Our St Marys Bike Ride continued out to Pelistry Beach where we had a chilled packed lunch of crab sandwiches on the beach and had a big kid moment on the empty tree swing. We were told over and over that Pelistry Beach is the most popular beach on St. Mary's and whilst it is beautiful, I personally prefer Porthcressa Beach on the edge of Hugh Town (but then that's just 1 person's opinion). To round off the day, we raced out to Peninnis Head Lighthouse and marvelled at the crazy shaped rocks and rugged coastline. On the way back, we had a perfect view out onto the Isles of Scilly Airport where we got to watch on as an Isles of Scilly Skybus took off. If you are visiting for an Isles of Scilly Day Trip, this video could prove helpful for how to get the most out of your day. I understand that St Marys Bike Hire can also deliver bikes to the airport if you fly onto the island too.
