St Agnes is the last of the islands on which many of the resident inhabitants still derive much of their income from traditional means, flower farming and fishing. It is therefore not surprising that regularly returning visitors, many for 20 years, comment favourably on the lack of any major changeson the island or the way of life. It is against this background that our visitors enjoy their holidays and familiarise themselves with the island's 365 acres and its 65 inhabitants.

A little under a mile long and less than half a mile wide, a walk round the island can be accomplished in a morning. To fully explore all the small coves and stop to admire the views or the profusion of wild flowers can take days. The clear pollution free atmosphere provides an ideal environment for the keen photographer whether it is views, wildlife or family snaps.

Situated on a major migration route, birds too can provide an interesting challenge particularly in the spring and autumn when large numbers of many species can be seen as they stop off to rest and feed.

Sea fishing is available from any part of the coast, no permit is required.

Swimming is best from the beaches of Covean, Porth Askin and the Bar, which leads to Gugh, but avoid the latter at high tide as the current can be string.

After dinner entertainment varies daily, from a quiet walk to watch the sun set over the Western Rocks on which many vessels has floundered, (including some of the Spanish Armada): a boat trip to watch the Gig Racing; a slide show in the Island Hall; a cricket match on the meadow or a well earned glassof your choice at the local. Alternatively you may wish to relax with a good book and a glass of wine from comprehensive range available at the Island Stores.
