By Ferry or Fly
The Tin Coast is the perfect place to stay before hopping onto a plane or boat and retreating into island life on the Isles of Scilly. And, with UK and International visitors touching down at Newquay Airport here is how to find your way to our warm West Cornwall welcome.
Ferry
Though flying may offer breath-taking panoramic views over west Cornwall, the 2.5 hour ferry from Penzance to the Isles of Scilly will provide a unique chance to see our incredible marine life up close, from seals and dolphins to the elusive whale. And, out of all of your options it is by far the most environmentally friendly with the least impact on our climate.

By Bus
Catching the bus to the Tin Coast is one of the most sustainable ways of getting here and around. Basking in the coastal views aboard the open top Land's End Coaster is a day trip all of its own.

By Train
With routine train services arriving into Penzance from as far afield as Glasgow and London and more locally from Plymouth and Truro you can reach the Tin Coast from Penzance by bus, taxi or even bike. After all, it's all part of the adventure.
By Car
On the Tin Coast our roads are narrow and windy. Take care, slow down, give cyclists, walkers and horse riders ample space and always expect the unexpected around every turn and bend. Better still plan for car free travel wherever possible.
