Higher Town Bay
Higher Town Bay sits on the northeastern side of St Mary's, offering a sheltered anchorage away from the bustle of Hugh Town. It's a quieter, more remote feel compared to the main town, with open views across the Eastern Isles and easy access to the coastal footpaths that thread around the island.
