Top 10 ten places to visit in South West England - Isles of Scilly
Swim in the Atlantic
With 55 islands in total, 5 inhabited and 50 uninhabited, the Scilly Isles have more than their fair share of beautiful sandy beaches – take your pick!
Sometimes there's nothing better than simply relaxing on the warm sand, and cooling off every now and again in the ocean. Although the Scilly’s are miles from the mainland, there are enough sheltered spots to swim safely.
It's best to use your common sense and pick sheltered spots, avoiding areas of water that are more exposed to winds and tides.
