Le Jaonnet

A remote sandy cove that you’ll more than likely have to yourself because it’s a trek to get to… 10mins off the Icart cliff path, then down 218 steps, then down a ladder to get to the beach. Not one for young kids!

GWK Port Grat Beach Guernsey

Port Grat Bay

A pretty horseshoe bay with soft white sand, clear water and rock pools to explore. Similar to Port Soif but, due to having limited parking and no facilities, it tends to be much quieter.

GWK Port Soif

Port Soif Beach

We love this stunner of a beach on Guernsey’s West coast and at high tide, with the white soft sand and crystal-clear water, you could be in the Caribbean! However, the beach changes at low tide with rocks instead of water!

For more experienced surfers, Portinfer is the beach for you, it can pick up more swell than at Vazon, however, in the summer it can get busy. This pretty secluded cove is just a stone’s throw from Port Soif beach and offers soft white sand, clear sea and great rock pools to explore.
