What to do and see in Guernsey, Channel Islands: The Best Outdoor Activities

May 31, 2021 Janean Rudisill

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
