Par Beach on the southern side of St Martin's is a calm and sheltered bay that looks towards the Eastern Isles.
The beach has shallow and often crystal clear water, making it a stunning place for sun bathing or a refreshing dip in the sea.
Various local businesses are a short walk away from the beach such as Little Arthur Café & Bistro, Polreath Tea Room, The Island Bakery, and St Martin’s Vineyard.
A popular activity here is kayaking which can be booked with St Martin’s Watersports. For the more adventurous, you can snorkel with seals, a great experience with Scilly Seal Snorkelling.
