An Indian summer on the Isles of Scilly

Whilst the summer may have failed to materialize so far, there are still opportunities to find the Indian Summer sun which forecasters are predicting and enjoy some of the most fantastic beaches and turquoise waters in the UK by visiting the Isles of Scilly.

Warmed by the Gulf Stream and lying 28 miles off the Western tip of Cornwall the Isles of Scilly make the perfect short break destination, with direct flights to the islands from Bristol, Exeter, Newquay, and Lands End by fixed wing plane and from Penzance by Helicopter and passenger ferry.

The warmer climate makes September and October a perfect time to visit the 5 inhabited and hundred plus uninhabited Islands fringed by beautiful white sand beaches and lapped by crystal clear waters.

And with Short break offers available for both travel and accommodation on the Isles of Scilly which offers everything from luxury hotels to traditional B&B and self catering to suit all tastes, styles and budgets, there has never been a better time to sample what the UK’s most westerly holiday destination has to offer.

“September and October is a beautiful time on the Isles of Scilly. So when the Indian Summer does arrive, you could be on one of the many beautiful white sand beaches that the Islands have to offer in less than an hour. There are not many places in the UK, let alone the world, where you could be lying on a deserted white sand beach lapped by crystal clear waters on a warm September or October afternoon, but that’s exactly what can happen here,” said Aisling Hick of Island Marketing.

“Few people realize just how accessible the Isles of Scilly are from the various airports around the region, making them the perfect Autumn short break getaway,” she added.
