St Agnes, Island at the southernmost tip of the British Isles, United Kingdom.
The landmass spans across a heather moorland known as Wingletang Down, with settlements including Troy Town, Lower Town, Middle Town, and Higher Town.
The population decreased from 243 residents in 1841 to 82 in 2011, while local men traditionally worked as pilots guiding vessels through the English Channel.
The Troy Town Maze, constructed from beach pebbles in 1729 by a lighthouse keeper's son, stands as a testament to possible Viking influences.
Visitors can cross a sandbar to reach Gugh island during low tide, and find accommodation in bed and breakfasts or self-catering cottages across the settlements.
Beady Pool beach contains Venetian glass and ceramic beads from a trading vessel that sank near the coast four centuries ago.
