Portelet Beach

Favourite
Portelet beach is the most southerly sandy beach on the west coast. Very sheltered, it offers a peaceful swimming spot when the tide is in. At low tide, a small fishing harbour pier is revealed but is rarely used by the small number of local fisherman who moor here. This beach is highly underrated and its natural location makes it Read more…

Eperquerie Landing Beach

Favourite
Eperquerie Landing beach is a small pebble beach. This was an old landing (hence the name) point for boats. Read more…

Bordeaux Beach

Favourite
Bordeaux is separated into two bays by an L-shaped granite pier and slipway. The northern bay is where a number of small fishing and pleasure boats are moored. When the tide is up, the pier is a popular spot for children to jump off into the shallow water. The southern beach has a narrow pebble bank at the top which Read more…

Saints Bay Beach

Favourite
Like Guernsey’s other south cliff beaches, Saints is best enjoyed when the tide is down. It is extremely sheltered but is not a beach that can be driven to as there are no car parks in the area. Toilets and kiosk. Read more…

Petit Port Beach

Favourite
Petit Port is tucked inside the Jerbourg peninsula and presents a lush sandy beach when the tide drops. Access is via 270 or so steps down the cliff, but the effort is worthwhile. Toilets are located in the car park that is found opposite the Doyle Column monument. Read more…

Bears Beach

Favourite
Bears beach is a west-facing sand and shingle beach that is located just off the entrance to the Common at Robert’s Cross. No facilities, the nearest toilets are back at the village by the harbour, opposite the cafe and pub. Read more…

Cobo Beach

Favourite
Cobo beach is probably the second most popular beach on Guernsey. It is primarily a sandy channel lying between the distinctive Cobo geology. It is deceptively steep around the half-tide mark and at low tide the sea is not anything like as far to reach as other beaches on the island. Car parks can be found at both ends of Read more…

Port Grat Beach

Favourite
Port Grat is a very under-rated sandy west coast beach. As the tide goes out, small rocky outcrops are revealed, though best enjoyed when the tide is half-way up to half-way down. No immediate facilities although Rousse is just the other side of the headland a few minutes away. There is one small car park at the northern end of Read more…

La Grande Greve Beach

Favourite
La Grande Grève beach is the largest and one of the most popular beaches on Sark. This west facing beach is one of the few sandy beaches on Sark and access is via a climb down the 100-metre cliff via the path and stairway. Read more…

Platte Saline Beach

Favourite
Platte Saline beach is NOT a swimming beach due to severe undertows, although it is a popular spot for fishing. Read more…

Mouisonniere Beach

Favourite
Mouisonniere Beach is an underrated sandy affair that runs the entire length of Herm’s north coast between Alderney Point and Oyster Rocks. This is the beach to go for almost total peace and quiet as many people do not make the effort to either cross the Common to get there or walk around the coastline. No facilities. Shell Beach is Read more…

Amarreurs Beach

Favourite
Amarreurs Harbour is a very small fishing harbour populated by just a handful of vessels. There is a mix of fine and coarse sand, along with some shingle areas. The old stone pier is very popular with children for jumping off and swimming around. On a spring low tide it is possible to walk right across the mainly sandy bay Read more…
