The 9 Best Beaches in Guernsey, Channel Islands

January 17, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

A British crown dependency, the sunny (well, relatively speaking) island of Guernsey boasts mild winters and warm summer months. From coasteering to kayaking, windsurfing to foodie foraging, outdoor enthusiasts of all types will love to roam this gorgeous Channel Island. A great base for fishing and angling trips, Guernsey also has plenty to see and do on the mainland. Explore Neolithic sites, stoic Castle Cornet, and ancient burial sites like Le Creux es Faies, a tomb that was once believed to be the gateway to a magical fairyland.

Shell Beach

Reviewed By daleboy2019 - Bristol, United Kingdom

A beautiful beach of soft light sand, which extends across the northern coast of Herm island. The water temperature was still somewhat cold during my visit, but waters are clean and crystal clear. The beach has a gradual incline and reaches about 1.5m depth around 100m out at low tide. Be careful as there is a slight rip current where two waters meet on the eastern part of the beach where there is a sand spit protruding into the sea; it may be unsafe for small children. Overall a great experience

Belvoir Bay Beach

Reviewed By JusKeepSwimming

This is an excellent bay and beach, has a Cafe and toilet which aren't open off season. What I found really interesting is that in low tide you can go to the adjoining beach stretch towards the right, which is mostly otherwise isolated, which is mostly pebbles (excellent for round ones !) and some sand. We visited in April and found a lot of bird activity in the cliffs above and on the beach (worth bringing your binoculars !). We caught view of some Oystercatchers on the beach, there are lots of big rock islands separated from the island which are perfect for puffins and ganettes (although there were only a few when we visited) and we even saw some eagles on the hunt !

I took a guided kayak tour there. The water was so clear you could see crab pots on the bottom in thirty feet of water. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. And best of all they have baileys coffee in the cafe.

Always a favourite beach growing up, it hasn't lost its charm The kiosk at the top of the slipway is awlays busy and will hire chairs for use on the beach. There are also public conveniences available and a café for "sit down" meals.
