Beaches

Discover the beauty of Guernsey's 27 beaches, from large stretches of soft white sand and crystal-clear water, to small sheltered coves, there's the perfect spot for every family.

Bordeaux Beach

Bordeaux Harbour

What was once a busy fishing harbour, is now more commonly used as a beach which is good for swimming and snorkelling at high tide. With excellent facilities and stunning views of Herm and Sark, it’s good for a stop-off, rather than a day at the beach.

GWK Fermain Bay

Fermain Bay

Fermain Bay is one of few pebble beaches in Guernsey, and for us that’s a blessing, as picnics on pebble beaches mean no sand in the food! This stunning beach is nestled in the picturesque Fermain Valley and is well worth a visit whilst in Guernsey.

GWK La Jaonnet

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!

Marble Bay

Marble Bay

A small, secluded rocky cove with stunning views towards Herm and Sark. A trek down from the cliff path, however, for those that want to swim in crystal clear water without another soul and feel at one with nature, this is for you!

Petit Port

One of our favourite beaches in Guernsey because it’s an absolute stunner. With soft sand, crystal-clear water and thanks to the fact you have to conquer 270 steps to reach it, it’s always quiet! It’s a trek back up from the beach so not suitable for all.

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!
