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

This is a small beach on the southwest of the island. Easy to find if you google it. Beaches like St Brelade's are well developed and attractive to those who like this. But Beauport beach is completely undeveloped and very beautiful: one of the most lovely small beaches I have seen. I had to put a city in, and wrote St Aubin but it's a few miles from this.
Fantastic secluded bay, like something from Pirates of the Caribbean, we spent the morning there, deserted, my wife swam it was beautiful

As the name suggests we are principally Cider Producers. Our range consists of draught cider, 2 different strength bottled ciders and a range of 6 bag-in-box still ciders. We also produce 5 fruit liqueurs, 2 apple chutneys and apple juice. In recent years we have built an off-shoot doing tasting tours for local sports and social clubs and cruise ship passengers visiting the island. We are expanding this side of the business this year to encourage more holidaymakers to come and visit us. The latest addition to our product list is Cider Brandy. We purchased a still last year (2018) and we produced our first batch in January 2019. The maturation process takes 3 years but it will be well worth the wait.
A very enjoyable and entertaining evening with our excellent guide Craig. A very informative tour in a beautiful setting with delicious cider and local cheese at the end of it. We will definitely return with friends and family. I would highly recommend this.

This quaint bridge is worth a look and walk across with spectacular views had from both sides it might be difficult for some one infirm as it is very steep when going on to the bridge from both sides there are some steps from the bridge to the sea which are worth a try

The beautiful and unspoiled island of Sark lies to the southeast of Guernsey, which features the La Seigneurie, an estate dating back to 1675 that was built on the site of a 6th-century monastery of St. Magloire.
The gardens of La Seigneurie are really magnificent and so peaceful. Despite the really hot weather the flowers were in full bloom and looked very fresh and colourful. I am not a gardener but really enjoyed walking along little pathways and smelling the perfumes of all the different varieties of roses and other plants. Afterwards we had some tea and delicious cakes at Hathaway’s café just next door.

A holiday in Jersey is not complete without a visit to Jersey War Tunnels to learn about and experience one of the most difficult periods in the Island’s history.The story of the German Occupation of Jersey is as compelling as it is strange to think that this small area of Britain was Occupied by the Nazis and forced to fly the Swastika for five dark years.The Jersey War Tunnels are no ordinary museum, they are an unforgettable experience. Dug deep into the hillside within St Peter’s Valley, the Tunnels were originally intended to be a barracks and ammunition store for the occupying forces. Today they tell the story of the Occupation, looking at how all sides coped under such extreme conditions and examining the daily dilemmas that were faced by island residents and the authorities, whether Jersey, British or German.Outside the Tunnels, you can enjoy quiet moments in the Garden of Reflection or a woodland walk along the historic War Trail. Refresh yourself in the Pantry Cafe or enjoy the shop and craft activities in LoveBird Too.
Excellent and informative museum showing what life was like under German occupation of the island, Well worth a visit and the Vega tearoom was very nice with a selection of sandwiches and cakes.

An 800 year old castle that boasts incredible views of the whole East coast of Guernsey and across to the other islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney. Steeped in history that includes the English civil war and the German Occupation of the castle and islands during the second world war. There are four museums on military history, the RAF and the story of the castle and a new maritime museum hoping to be unveiled later in 2021. The grounds and gardens benefit from a full-time castle keeper tending the historic gardens and keeping it looking beautiful. The daily noon-day gun firing of a 32 pound cannon by a gunner in traditional 19th century uniform is the highlight of any visit and can be accompanied by a castle tour in the morning, tea in the cafe and relaxing in the sunshine!
Castle cornet has a fascinating history, great for kids for look around and for adults also, Remember to be there fro the noon day gun firing, 3 museums in one, local Militia, castle history, and the 201 squadron, long walk to it though.

Jersey Zoo was founded in 1959 by author and naturalist Gerald Durrell. Its 32 acres of beautifully landscaped park is home to over 100 species of animal, many of which are threatened in the wild. The zoo is the heartbeat of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, the global charity with a mission to save species from extinction. The zoo's onsite facilities include two cafés, 5-star glamping at Durrell Wildlife Camp, a hostel and the Durrell Conservation Academy.
We had a wonderful time visiting Jersey zoo, the weather was great, such a variety of animals to see and lots to hear and see about Gerald Durrell too, certainly well worth a visit if you are on the island.
