Guernsey with Kids

West Coast

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!

Rocquaine Bay

Rocquaine Bay

A vast sandy beach with beautiful views of the Cup and Saucer (Fort Grey). There are no facilities at the bay, however, the Guernsey Pearl café is behind the bay and Portelet kiosk is a short walk away.

GWK Portinfer

Portinfer Beach

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.

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 Rousse

Le Grand Havre Bay

A wide bay encompassing a number of beaches: Rousse (great for swimming and has a fantastic kiosk), Le Picquerel (small sheltered sandy beach), Les Amarreurs (a picturesque small harbour with a playground behind the beach), Ladies Bay and Chouet (beautiful family-friendly beaches with great facilities).

GWK Vazon Bay

Vazon Bay

If you and your family are into watersports, then this is the beach for you. A beautiful wide sandy beach with the largest surf on the island, makes Vazon a hotspot for Guernsey’s watersports enthusiasts.

Cobo Bay

One of Guernsey’s most popular beaches, Cobo Bay is the perfect family beach for swimming, sandcastles, beach games and rock pooling. With plenty of amenities close by it’s no wonder it’s a popular choice.

Grandes Rocques (Saline Bay)

If you want to build sand castles, paddle, climb rocks, rock pool, see a German bunker and explore a 16th century battery, then this is the beach for you! With a well stocked beach kiosk and a great fish n chip shop down the road, it’s a great family beach choice.
