The Cove
Drop anchor in the sheltered waters off Hugh Town, the main hub of the Isles of Scilly, and you're within easy reach of everything St Mary's has to offer. It's a surprisingly lively little spot for such a remote archipelago — the Isles of Scilly Museum is a short walk away, and the town has pubs, shops, and the kind of unhurried atmosphere that makes you want to linger longer than planned.
