This small island packs one hell of a punch! It’s hard to know where to start. The most obvious place to start I suppose is the coastline, here we have something for everyone. Guernsey boasts beaches for all activities, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing and of course, sunbathing! There is no shortage in choice of beach either, with 27 to choose from, you’re spoiled for choice! You’ll never have to fight for a good spot on Guernsey’s beaches, so you’ll always have space for a game of beach rounders or cricket if that floats your boat. Many of Guernsey’s beaches are dog friendly too. However, if white sandy beaches aren’t your thing, don’t worry, Guernsey has you covered, the southern coastline has “pebbley” coves and sheltered bays as well as dramatic cliff walks giving views out across the water to Jersey and France. There are endless places to go rock-pooling to get up close to the multitude of local crabs and fish that get trapped between the tides. The beaches are clean and the water crystal-clear, the locals take much pride in their lovely seaside playground, so make sure you do too. You won’t be disappointed with a trip to Guernsey’s many idyllic beaches. Perfect for families, couples and solo adventurers. It’s not always warm, but it’s always beautiful. Be safe & enjoy.

A beautiful island with so much to offer. Great food, beautiful beaches and a wealth of history both ancient and modern. A really relaxing place to stay. Everything moves at a much slower pace, ( max speed limit being 35mph).

What a beautiful place Guernsey is.!!! This place captivates you with its charm. I must of returned to this fabulous place 20 times over the years. The friendliness of the the locals is second to none along with excellent places to rest your head. There are so many fantastic restaurants in which you can gorge yourself silly if you fancy a change from your hotel food. Local seafood being one of the best options. Lovely beaches and cliff walks, hidden coves and beautiful wild flowers make this a painters paradise, the light lends itself perfectly. I cannot wait until my next visit.!!!

Only there for the weekend but saw the entire coastline during our 51 mile hike. It was beautiful! Not much at all happening outside the capital but if you like gun placements and forts, there's plenty to be seen. The cliff path along the south coast is challenging but well worth it.
