Guernsey with Kids

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!

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.

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!
