West Porth
West Porth is a sheltered anchorage just off Hugh Town, the bustling hub of the Isles of Scilly, where you drop the hook and take in views of this remarkably remote yet lively island capital. From here you're a short dinghy ride from the town's shops, pubs, and the main ferry quay connecting St Mary's to the outer islands. It's a great base for exploring the whole archipelago, with the legendary white-sand beaches of St Mary's just a short walk away.
