Lower Town
Lower Town sits on the eastern side of St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly, where you can anchor off and take in the quiet, unhurried feel of this remote Atlantic archipelago. It's a short hop from Hugh Town, the islands' main hub, putting you close to shops, the harbour, and inter-island boat connections. The scatter of smaller islands nearby makes this a great base for exploring by dinghy.
