The 50 best beaches in and around the Channel Islands

Beautiful beach with a short promenade. A couple of cafes and limited free parking. RNLI station for safe swimming.

Lovely beach, sea gets deep quick, but tide doesn't go out too far, so you can still visit and enjoy at low tide. Lifeguards on duty in the summer months and cafe and ice-cream available nearby, as well as public toilets.

Fabulous golden sands, rock pools, large stones, 2 cafes, 2 hotel/pubs, free parking and toilets. Colleen's has wide choice of food and drink.

Lovely beach. Delicious, reasonably priced food at Colleens Café and friendly staff. Frequent bus service direct from the airport.

Stunning little beach with places to grab a meal and ice cream. Worth a visit with free parking too.

Great places to eat or just a drink and relax

Nice small beach. It was crowded on a Friday afternoon. It's the 4th best beach we have been on our 8 days holiday in Jersey, after Plemont, St Ouen and St Brelade Bay.

St Brelades bay hotel is simply lovely... Great Staff, fab food, lovely gardens, lovely views over the Bay itself... Could not recommend highly enough.. ❤️

Gorgeous beach. Immaculate gardens adjacent to the beautiful white sand and a lovely church to visit at one end of the bay with views back over the sea. I could easily spend an afternoon here sitting on a bench, eating Jersey ice cream and soaking up the local atmosphere.

Very nice beach, St Brelade's Bay is by far Jersey's best beach, fit with many restaurants and nice hotels. The beach is always clean and most of the time not to busy... Really recommend this beach!

Beautiful beach, plenty of places to eat/drink and a very lovely church

A beautiful bay with sandy beach, good facilities, nice cafes and restaurants, a public park and lot more. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the day especially in the summer season.

What a gem of a place to visit. It has everthing you need. Beautiful clean beach and so scenic. Lovely promanade with lots of seating areas in prom side gardens. Cafes , restaurants , all within walking distance. A must place to visit for young and old 10/10

A most beautiful beach. Pristine, clean.

A massive long beach mostly hard sand, dogs allowed to run free up to 10.30 and after 18.00 other times dogs on leads.

Huge beach, very windy. Probably popular with surfers...

Wonderful wide beach, great for a bracing walk. Cafes spaced out nicely, the best one has to be Le Braye.

Fantastic sandy beach, Dogs off lead only before 10am & after 6pm

Vast length of sandy beach facing west, but thecsea was as flat as a pancake the day we visited. It's quite windy as it faces west and there is a long distance to the nearest land mass.

A beautiful empty sandy beach. What more could you ask for

Beautiful just to sit with friends catching up.

My favourite beach on the island. No facilities, other than a carpark at the top and path with stairs down to the beach. So bring everything you need for your time on the beach with you.

It's probably the most beautiful place we visited whilst on holiday. Thanks to the locsl lady walking her dogs who told us about it. Access down to the beach isn't easy . Lots and lots of uneven steps wind down to the beach. Which when we vidited was utterly deserted. If you didn't know where you were, you could have been mistaken for thinking you were in Thailand.

About Beauport Beauport Bay is the very definition of a hidden gem, geographically close to the busy St. Brelade’s Bay but a world away in terms of atmosphere. It’s improbable that a visitor would stumble across Beauport unless they knew exactly where to look, so the majority of beachgoers here are local, and those in the know arrive early to bag a good spot on the sand. Reaching Beauport is an adventure in itself with a steep pathway and steps tumbling down the cliff face from the small car park above. The reward for these efforts clambering down (and later back up!) is one of the most picturesque wild bays in Jersey, if not the world. Surrounded on all sides by towering granite cliffs the south facing bay is a renowned sun-trap, and the turquoise water here is calm, perfect for swimming and a popular anchor spot for local and visiting boat owners. Local teens earn their bragging rights by jumping into the water from a number of dizzyingly high rocks around the bay, but an excellent knowledge of local tides and water depth is required to do this safely and it’s not recommended to follow suit! There is no public transport serving Beauport, but the nearest bus stop in St. Brelade’s Bay is around a 15-minute walk away. Due to the nature of the steep pathway and steps this beach is sadly not recommended for those with mobility difficulties, and there are no toilet or catering facilities here.

Such a beautiful beach! It's a bit of a walk down the stairs to the beach but so worth it.

A small but a beautiful beach. There are no toilets or shops nearby and you have to take steps or a long slope to get there, but it’s not busy and it’s very relaxing. We walked around 15 mins from St Brelade church bus stops to here. Walking on the road is easier but taking a waking trail is more scenic.

Superb beach not very crowded. Unsuitable for disabled as it is accessed from a steep flight of unven steps. Worth the effort though. No amenities on the beach

Quiet small bay very well sheltered from wind if coming the right Direction Westerly wind I think small forest area on the left bit of a walk down the steps but worth it

Nice for a walk and relaxation, but reaching the parking was a challenge - unpaved road which was so uneven, I almost screamed scared while driving on it. It's a rich island, won't cost much to fill the few holes on the road and make that final part of the road more bearable!

Beautiful bay, very steep walk down but well worth it if you can do that. The 12a bus runs right to the car park and there is a pub here called The Portelet Inn. Fantastic setting.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place (Original) Très bel endroit

Jersey's most beautiful North Westerly beach, lined with exciting caves, deep rock pools and fresh water fall. Toilets, cafe restaurant and lifeguards above the beach set onto the cliffs, with parking above those. Beach accessible via steep path and steps from the free carpark. NOT suitable for the infirm or pushchairs.

Lovely sandy beach with a few caves to explore, you will have to find out when the tide is out as at certain times the tide is in no beach...park at the top it's free as limited spaces below and narrow to get down

We got a taxi here as it was 2 buses from where we where staying , it was well worth the taxi fare, you need to be fit to get down to the beach from the top car park , you can pause at the cafe half way down, there are toilets at the cafe also , once down you can explore the caves and water fall which was there highlight for us as a family, we checked when it was low tide so the journey was not wasted as the whole area is covered in high tide best beach in Jersey so far on our holiday

Worth all the steps to get down and back up again. Parking at the bottom is very limited, so it's a trek to get there and back but worth it. Great to have lifeguards during the summer too.

This is my favourite beach ever. When I got there the other day it was high tide so I went to the lovely cafe and had something to eat and drink and waited for the tide to go out. When it started to go out I watched from a rock and then went onto the beach via the rock rather than steps because there was still water at the bottom of the steps. Its a fantastic beach to explore with different types of rocks around and caves and a waterfall. Its a good size beach at low tide. There are things to do/see in the surrounding areas too, such as the giant kissing puffins and some WWII bunkers. Its definitely worth coming to this beach and having a nice walk and visiting the area. The cafe is lovely with a great view and lovely staff working there. There are also some toilets and 2 car parks.

Lovely beach that fills up at high tide. Plan for low tide. Nice cafe and toilets. Difficult walking from carpark and steps to beach. Lovely access to coastal path in either direction .

Fantastic beach! Just make sure you go arrive around 3 hours after high tide otherwise you will have a wait.

A great view over the harbour. Access driving down, as in many places in Jersey, is tight bends and narrow. Worth the view however. The food we had, and as very good and service polite. We sat outside to overlook the harbour, which would have been 5 stars if the music had not been played so loudly over the speakers. Rather spoiled it for us as the atmosphere would have been great without! The smell of cooking of the Thai food was as wonderful; we would have loved to stay to eat!

Fabulous location and delicious Thai food. I will definitely return.

Lovely peaceful spot for a breakfast. Great food and dog friendly on the terrace.

A proper hidden gem. We tried their Thai menu, the food was fantastic. Whilst waiting to collect the staff were very friendly and even offered an ice lolly to my 4 yr old daughter. A nice touch.

This is an amazing place and we'll recommended. We came for a evening meal but it will be fine for whatever meal or just a coffee. There is no alcohol licence but you can bring your own. The food is amazing and the location is just as amazing. The restaurant is Thai and have both vegetarian and meat options and a good choice of specials as well. Definaly make the effort to come to the cafe you will not be disappointed

Advisable to avoid this cafe’s online booking system. After positive experiences in the past we were really let down this weekend when a planned evening visit with a large group of overseas visitors was upset when our booking made one week earlier AND CONFIRMED BY EMAIL BY THE CAFE was then denied to exist when we arrived on time. Of course mistakes happen but rather than own the error, apologise and offer some kind of acceptable recompense, the staff initially claimed that the booking was fake and simply washed their hands of the issue - “not our problem”. The eventual offer of an outside cold picnic bench or a table inside after all the other guests had finished (and who had only just received their starters) wasn’t what we had booked for our visitors so we had to leave to try to find somewhere able to accommodate a large party at short notice on a Friday evening. TO THE CAFE MANAGEMENT: please remember the way your staff deal with problems can be the difference between continued business or locals avoiding you in the future.

Went on a sunny morning and sat outside with drinks. Very pleasant and scenic place to go. Drinks were excellent.

One of if not my favourite place on this earth, unfortunately its not that easy to get to if you don't like flying. Guernsey is a beautiful island with so much to see. I made my first visit in 1971 and the last time was 2013.

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).

Visited long ago but am now watching Enemy at the Door TV series about occupation in WW II. Fascinating - not an easy time for residents.

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.!!!

A beautiful island with friendly people, a slow pace of life and an air of peace. Jerbourg and Icart are special places, looking out to sea and losing yourself in the space. St Peter Port is lovely, boat to Herm was special. La Barbarie hotel was superb and I recommend it to all visitors. Going back soon.

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.

Great place to relax driving on the roads is a pleasure compared to UK slow and polite . Public transport is so cheap clean

Beautiful beach but a bit tricky getting down to it from the parking area at the top. Great place to hang out and there’s a small cafe / restaurant available for refreshments.

Lovely beach and great pizza restaurant down there. It's a lot of stairs to get down (and back) but is a really lovely beach. Best check the tides before going down though, as not much beach when it's high tide. At low tide you can walk over to the island. Parking at the top can be a little limited, there is a bus stop at the top of the hill if you don't have a car and the Portlet pub at the top is a nice place to stop to recover from the walk back up.

Beautiful bay but there are a lot of steps so be mindful of that. Also no facilities on the beech like bins or toilets. We observed some local kids leave all their rubbish (which we and others collected) but there is a large bin at the very top so please take it with you. If you go when it's low tide, you can easily cross to the fort but be warned, there are a lot of pigeons inside and a lot of birds poo on the floor and walls. The rocks are very grippy but the seaweed can make it slippy.

Beautiful beach well worth the climb down and back up

This beach is lovely all year round. It can be quite stoney in places, so bring sand shoes. It's not for the unfit, as there are lots of steps to get there/get out. There is a cafe that sells pizzas and beverages (summer only). There is a good pub/restaurant at the top (with free parking), which is open all year.

Lovely beach and surrounding area!

One of the nicest bays in Jersey, if not the nicest. Beautiful views! Especially the transition between low and high tide is something special here. Lots of steps down to the beach - not for anyone with mobility issues. For anyone who can make it, this is not to be missed. Excellent for swimming as well.

The most beautiful island I've been to. Lovely beaches, two with cafés and one of those selling a selection of alcoholic beverages. The Mermaid Tavern and The Ship both serve great food and have an amazing atmosphere. All staff across the island were fantastic!

We walked all the way round this beautiful little island so peaceful and no cars, truly lovely

It is like being on a private island....a very special place to visit. My personal favourite is Shell Beach. This is a must to visit if going to Guernsey. You can also hire kayaks from the beach which is a great way to see the coast.

Although the ferry may seem crowded as soon as you land people go in different directions and it's not hard to find a tranquil spot. The walk around the island is very nice and on a good footpath.

Love the experience been in Herm Beautiful island Quite place Wonderful day ♥️♥️

Absolutely beautiful little Island. Small enough to walk around it in a couple of hours. Shell beach on Herm is a must see, especially when the weather is nice.

An absolute must do trip. Super easy and short trip on the ferry. We went on a sunny day and She'll Beach was akin to the Caribbean, but with a fraction of the people!

Beautiful views Fresh and clean air

Nice area, great views. There were people sunbathing and families on the beach. Further along is a cafe.

West is best! Arguably the nicest beach in Guernsey

These photos are from visits at different times of the year. Vazon, and neighbouring Cobo Bay, are the best beaches in Guernsey.

Magnificent bay with sandy beaches and safe swimming. Good foot and car park access.

Gorgeous beach, had a lovely walk across it.

Beautiful place Stunning scenery Worth a visit

Brilliant beach. Surfing very popular here.

Great beach.. unfortunately too many dogs .. big dogs

Beautiful beach, nice walks on the top around Ouaisne common and wonderful walk from beach up to Portelet common. Much less crowded than its next door neighbour St Brelades.

Went to look at the tortoise sculpture on Bank Holiday Monday. The food outlet was closed and no ice cream available. Shame. It was a lovely day to be out too.

Stunning ⛱ beach,local pub for food etc. few minutes walk from the beach,there is also lots of parking and another eatery based in the carpark for drinks and food again..stroll the beach and your at St Brélade Bay

Lovely, quiet large local bay with lots of space and ample parking. Great to walk the dog (when permitted) and has some great places to eat in the Kismet kiosk and the Smuggler's Inn.

Stunning ,Jersey is beautiful.

Another Jersey favourite, generally not as busy as some of the more popular beaches. Beautiful surroundings, plenty of parking, and the kismet beach hut for food and coffee etc.

People are very friendly there. Little Sark and the North are good for walking. Main roads are dusty; dust kicked up by tractors and carriages. No Lamborghini tractors to be found. Drinking water, emanating from wells is excellent.

Had a great day on Sark - very lucky with the weather as it was glorious. Make sure you get ferry tickets in advance. We hired a couple of electric bikes and toured the island - a perfect way for covering the island in the time available, between arriving and the return ferry. Some nice cafés and a couple of pubs for refreshments and sustenance. However, it will be a bleak and inhospitable place in winter, unless you're an intrepid adventurer - though if the weather/sea state is bad, the ferries won't be running...

Bigger than Herms but still as beautiful we made our way over the bridge built by prisoners of war to little sark where the silver mines are lovely walk

Serene and scenic views. To fully experience it, get a bike and cycle around. A good place to take a mental break and experience nature.

A must visit if you are in BCI.

A must visit when in the Channel Islands. You can sail here or take the boat over from Guernsey. Once on the island there is plenty to do including walking, swimming and hiring bikes. It is quiet and perfect for families and couples. Make sure you pack your camera too and take lots of photos. The geography is stunning.

We had a very enjoyable ferry ride to the island from Guernsey which took roughly an hour. Sark is a haven for it's silence as no motor vehicles are allowed on it except for tractors and horse drawn carts. The tourist welcoming guides were exceptionally good and made everything clear. From the small harbour we were conveyed up to the village by a tractor pulling a trailer with seats on it. Then we had a horse drawn cart which took us to La Seigneurie a feudal manor house with a garden. A very interesting trip.

Very picturesque beach on Herm Island. Loads of shells, hence the name. Sea is crystal clear. Cafe/bar by the footpath entrance. Amazing place.

A beautiful beach among beaches on the herm island. A very clear water, shallow enough with not so much current or wave that it allows even kids learning how to swim to build confidence in practicing how to swim. During the summer, the water was warm enough to allow for a good swim, I was there with my family, and it was a fun filled day. We had picnic, then swim more and rest under the sun until it set. It only took some a boat trip from Guernsey to get to the island, short 15min trip

Take a speedy ferry to this gem of an island. Tickets are open return so go for a longish walk anti clockwise round the coast. Some steepish sections but nothing to demand stout footwear. The views on a sunny day are a distraction at all points of the compass. Shell beach is a stopping place to eat at the charming Cafe or use the toilets there. Plenty of shells to look for and keep children occupied before continuing back past the inhabited half of the route. There are two ferry drop off points depending on the tide state. Remember there is a very large tidal range here. A full day out and you can even tay in a local cottage but you will need to bring all your food and drink over on the ferry with you.

Beautiful beach with clear water. Great for swimming. Open and expansions views.

Beautiful beach, very clean and crystal clear waters. Shell beach on Herm, could be somewhere in the Mediterranean

Beautiful beach, I don't need to say much more it's one of the most famous beaches in these parts ! Has a cafe (no toilets). I found this beach especially good for taking portrait pictures, as the backdrop of the grass on the beach makes it look distinctly superb. The beach is very shallow, so excellent for kids to play in and it's quite a long stretch.

Gorgeous beach with a sheltered swimming area. Small cafe/beach shop and SUP board rental business too. You can rent beach umbrellas from the cafe, probably worth doing since there’s little shade.

Tea room with toilets, by the sandy beach. Very pretty.

Absolutely lovely little cafe. Brilliant location and nice staff. Food options are okay. It's 30 seconds from the beach.

A beautiful beach full of family memories. Slow sloping beach with safe swimming. Lots of soft sand that is perfect for building castles. Dozens of rock pools full of different marine life to be explored, nets and buckets are a must! A fresh water stream that runs onto the beach from the surrounding cliffs makes for some striking views as it runs off the rocks, through the garden of the cafe and onto the beach itself. There is on road parking nearby but I would advise going early in peak season as it fills up fast

Lovely little tea room overlooking a gorgeous bay. Very friendly staff. A pre-Martello tower right in front of you as well. Quite a few parking spaces nearby but in the busy summer days I’m sure they get filled very quickly.

Our favourite bay of them all. So many memories. Nice beach, walks and Ducks!! The Petit Bot tearooms have been completely refurbed. We visited 4 years ago when the place had just been trashed!! What a transformation to the place. Downstsirs still serves teas and coffees amd icecreams and the like. Up stairs has seating and a lovely menu. Weve booked for a meal on friday and another review of that will be added..... but so far very impressed. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful walks and beautiful beach. Beautiful prepared for lots of steep hilly walking but the views will be rewarding

Nice small bay. Limited parking directly next to the bay. At high tide most of the sandy part of the beach is under water.

Beautiful anchorage with easy access to the beach by tender. Nice walk up to Sark village through the woods. Sheltered unless the wind is from the South/East. There is a stream coming out of the cliff to wash the sand and gravel off your feet.

Stunning beach Very relaxing and tranquil. Definitely worth visiting.

Beautiful secluded little bay

Probably the best beach for swimming (even on boxing day!). Add to that a most beautiful walk down through the woods to get there and a brief stop at Smugglers bar at Stocks Hotel on the way back

Lovely bay we anchored in the bay for the afternoon and decided to stay the night. Woke up to stunning views from the boat of the lovely coastline then set sail for Herm Island.

Beautiful unspoilt bay about 15 minutes walk from the village. The only access is on foot or by boat.

Bit steep on the way down but lovely bay for a nice swim or just relax

Discover another world as you explore Jersey’s stunning coastline by user-friendly sit-on-top kayaks. Paddle with local guides whose knowledge make this more than just a kayak trip. Daily kayak tours and courses are suitable for all levels and novices/families are welcome. Lots of different places to explore and discover whcih are often only seen from the sea.

Fantastic island, beautiful views, great experience, friendly people, will be coming back!

First time we have visited and cannot believe we have never been before. A beautiful island loads to see and do a real must visit. Some great restaurants and cafes. Loads of good shops and tax free. The zoo is very interesting and does a lot for wildlife around the world. If you're thinking of going to Jersey do it you won't be disappointed.

Had a great holiday on a picturesque island with many hidden gems to discover from little cafés on secluded beaches to museums showing the history of this island. Local are helpful if you need it. Takes bus tour to get a good Idea where you are then explore on the bus yourself and take a walk on the many signed walks. Romantic getaway to family active holiday. You will have to come back as so much to see and do.

Beautiful island, lovely people. Packed with things to do and see whatever the weather. Something for everyone.

The Island of Jersey is simply incredible. Words can’t describe its beauty. There are numerous full island tours which I would highly encourage you to go on. They take most of a day but this includes lots of stops and chances to get photos and explore parts of the island you might miss. If you’re a national trust member there’s a few sites on the island so make sure to bring your membership card too. The people are incredibly welcoming and there is an abundance of choices of food and restaurants. Will be back soon!

Love it here would definitely go back, the bus service is great the food is great and there are loads of stuff to do and hundreds of cafes to try!

Fantastic little island with so much history. It's a place every one should visit within their life time.

Not changed in 30 years. Lovely place to visit with some nice quaint shops snd cafes. Easy harbour to enter and leave. Not expensive.

Beautiful island. Great to explore either on foot or by bike. Got to be done.

I was even named after the island, so my parents clearly thought it was a gem. A really really nice place. Loveliest beaches you'll find in the UK ❤️

Paradise. Just a short hop from Southampton I believe Alderney is so underrated. We were lucky with the weather in late August. The beaches were stunning (and empty). Everybody was so friendly. Great for WW2 history or anyone who enjoys walking in the countryside. Definitely a slower pace of life.

Great little island in the English channel. Not the easiest of them to get to but probably all the better for it. Great for a short walking holiday (you can walk the whole island in 2hours so might get bored if you stayed too long!. Beautiful beaches, sea views on every corner, friendly locals, loads of history - Victorian era and WW2 forts, shipwrecks etc, wildlife, interesting mix of Britain with a bit of French flavour. Worth a visit!

Hugely underrated gem as the most northerly Channel Island. Escape from the grind and enjoy wonderful beaches, great walks, good food and a sense of remoteness (even if your can see the neighbouring island's on the horizon and Normandy just 9 miles to the east).

A tiny little beach, but the loveliest Coffe shop with amazing views and wonderful food. Coffee with cute decorations-wgat a treat

Fab setting with views of moulin huet bay. Very busy but handled it well, waited about 5 minutes for our order. Now licensed and enjoyed a pint with our crab sandwiches. Note crab sandwich comes as sourdough toast and jar of crab and pot of mayo, for you to assemble. Very tasty

A lovely small beach split in two sides. One with more sand and an easier way to get in to the see and the other with more rock and therefore rock pools and places to explore. It has a steep approach from the car park and a lovely tea room (which closes at 16.30 sharp) on the way down.

I love this place. It's a steep climb back up from the beach so not for the faint of heart but its definitely worth it. The water is always a little warmer here and it's very secluded so often get the beach to yourself. But beware of the tide as if you're on the beach you will get trapped when it starts coming in. No wonder Renoir was such a fan!

Absolutely gorgeous island to wander around. The beaches and sea are like something out of a tropical paradise.

Must see

Interesting to know that Renoir painted here 🤔 and it has amazing views of the pea stacks 😊

Fabulous bay on east coast. No amenities except toilets and vary limited parking. But great if you can park and want a peaceful place.

Such a lovely beach

Great beach with easy access to the sea. Limited parking but if you can get parked it's a safe clean beach.

Went for a paddle in the kayak from St Catherine's to Anne port tide was on it's way out sea was calm lovely day you need to look out for the currents as they can be strong speak to the locals for advice

A beautiful east coast beach. Limited direct parking but there is parking a short walk away! Upper beach is stoney but the falling tide quickly reveals sand.

A small beach popular with swimmers at high tide. A good place to start on our kayak tours when we head around to Mont Orgueil castle.

Beautiful beach with crystal clear sea and views of France. Great for snorkeling but not for bathing as it's a pebble beach. Was also a bit stinky due to the seaweed

This is a beautiful beach and worth all the stairs. As the tide went out it meant that everyone was well spread out so it didn't feel crowded at all. The dogs loved digging the sand and swimming in the calm waters. Definitely worth visiting.

Such a picturesque part of the island!

One of the nicest beaches I've been to in Northern Europe (mind you, with the weather we had, it could almost have been the Mediterranean!). Note that there are a LOT of steep steps to get down/up

Beautiful beach. It was just me, the dog?, the sun, sand snd sea .... Just remember the climb bsck up ehen you visit. 300+ steps.

The perfect hike down to the beach ⛱️

Not crowded. But 300 steps to get to. Flat calm sea. Loads of flat sand at low tide. Stunning

Good walking paths, the early morning breeze is amazing!!😊👌

Hidden gem of a beach, sheltered from westerly winds. Best on a high tide for swimming off the slipway but lots of rockpooling at low tide. Parking v limited.

Found this place whilst touring Jersey steep narrow road down to the shore line launched kayak from the shore excellent place for a safe paddle spoke to the local fishermen all very friendly & helpful.

Absolutely adore this little bay & visit every time I'm back on the rock. Although it still saddens me to remember Susan Young getting washed up here.

Lovely secluded and sheltered beach. Perfect for paddle boarding and swimming in the prevailing South Westerlies, with early morning sunshine. Access via very steep hill. Can get busy, usually enough parking but requires tight manoeuvring as there is no easy turning point. No facilities at all. Cobbled slipway onto pebbled beach.

A great swimming spot when it is a west wind. Very sheltered. In late August and early September you may even see phosphorescence glowing in the water at night.

Dont tell anyone about this place as it's a bit of a secret gem. I dont mind telling you my good friend googley but dont tell everyone as I really like it here. Popular with swimmers as it's very protected and safe. Great for a walk and explore round towards snowbins too.

Great swimming here this week, sheltered and the water still warm enough for a good 20 minute late afternoon dip!

Excellent place to stay with a group if you want something a bit different. Managed by the Landmark Trust it's fully kitted out and the management are super helpful (picked us up from the airport without us even asking). Stunning views from every angle. Accomodation wise it's perfectly comfortable. You won't get WiFi or phone reception in the fort but why would you want to when you're here!?

Its for private rental which is pretty cool if you can afford it. Great photo up from the cliff path lookinh down on it.

Walked across the causeway at low tide hoping to get a look in the grounds. Someone saw us coming and slammed the door shut. To say the Fort is run by a charity and funded by donations I would have expected a better attitude to those running the place the place. We can't all afford thousands to stay there.

An amazing adventure. It's private property so can only go if you rent it out it worth it.

An amazing place to stay, a fort on a private island where 13 people can stay in comfort. It's absolutely beautiful, warm and safe while the elements rage outside. Whatever the weather, this place is truly unuque and astounding.

Amazing holiday accommodation. Historically amazing. Quirky rooms.

Great place as a base for our geocaching hobby.

Good views of bay with public toilets available all year round un like the cafe which seems to only open in high season.

Great beach, lots of little pools and puddles at low tide. Wonderful sunset the evening we were there.

Loved this beach area , quiet and peaceful when we visited. Cafe at beach great for drinks and snacks

Beautifully tranquil

A great place to walk during the cooler months or to relax on the beach in the warmer ones.

Great sandy beach with lots of rock pools when the tide is out, cafe close by,. Toilets, outdoor shower

Lovely, quiet and shelterd. Also brilliant for rock pooling!

Many, many childhood holidays on this beach - best option for surfing on Alderney. Quite close to Arch and Saye and the lighthouse.

Not great for snorkeling. Saw some kid get stung by a weaver fish. Seem like allot there

The best beach on Alderney

(Translated by Google) It's always nice to travel (Original) Путишествовать всегда приятно

Stunning, must see when you visit Sark

Great sheltered anchorage in Northerly winds. Steep steps to get in and out. Sand/shale beach. V pretty, great views of Herm and Guernsey. Clear water

Walk down not steep enough, too much sand and water too salty

Great

A very thought provoking place to visit. Take the time to read the boards and stories of the individuals that lived through the experience it’s well worth it or pay the extra £4.50 for the audio tour. It’s amazing to read just what people went through and how different people had very different experiences of the German occupation. Parking is free and onsite but not huge. It is cooler when in the tunnels but I would t say it’s cold. Definitely a must visit when on the island.

I'm very interested in this period of history and can honestly say that this is the best attraction for World War II I have been to. Highly recommend using the audio guide the information is interesting and they captured so many perspective and elements of the war. I had no understandingof what it would have been like to live on an occupied island that hasn't actually been invaded, and I almost feel like I was there. A huge credit to the island past and present.

A very well laid out and comprehensive museum dedicated to the WWII German occupation of Jersey. So much to see and learn about the unique history of these events. I hsd previously visited the underground hospital in Guernsey which was similar in layout but fare more bare and original - This has been decorated and converted properly into a museum, and is far less damp! It is however a bit cold and the air very dry due to dehumidifiers running constantly. The gift shop is very good and well stocked too, with a decent cafe. A must-do stop for any visitor to Jersey.

A must visit. A fascinating and moving experience depicting life in the Channel Islands during the war. To enjoy this experience I suggest allow yourselves 2 to 2.5 hours when you visit.

Staff were really nice, even though young, they were knowledgeable and friendly. The museum itself was very interesting, it was very good to go through the timeline of the war through the tunnel, there was lots interesting exhibitions and told a good story, there was a couple of great immersive exhibits as well so it was not all reading so can be good for children and it wasn't too long.

I’ve visited this museum / attraction several times over many years and it seems to get better each time. Some of the materials presented are very thought provoking and overall you get an interesting insight into what German occupation was like for the islanders during the war. The fate of some of the islanders who were deported and the treatment of the prisoners forced to build the tunnels is heartbreaking.

Interesting place to visit to learn more about how life was affected during WW2 occupation. Visitor Centre was clean, comfortable and provided a nice cafe, complete with resident seagull who wanders in given half a chance! Lovely cake and friendly staff.

Arrived at 6pm just as the restaurant opened and greeted by the lovely Margaux. Our host showed us to a fabulous corner window table and introduced Fabrice our waiter for the evening. We took the opportunity to video the beach view and inside of the restaurant before it became extremely busy. The seafood was fresh, beautifully cooked and simply delicious. Service from Margaux and Fabrice was exceptional with every attention to detail to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Absolutely first class. we've travelled the world and been to many seafood restaurants and this is ranked up there with the best. Food was stunning. nicely presented and well flavoured. Great service too. We will definitely be returning.

Our first time in Jersey and this restaurant was a real treat. I had the seafood pasta and it was hands down the best seafood pasta I've ever had. The staff were friendly, professional and accommodating. The cherry on the sundae was the amazing views over the bay. Thanks for having us!

We had a fantastic lunch here. Slow, sunny and delicious which was just what we wanted. We shared the oyster platter and ordered more from the specials menu which were amazing. A must try if you haven't had a hot/grilled oyster. The ones in champagne butter were incredible. For starters you could get some smaller portions of the pasta dishes which was such a great idea, meaning that we got to try more of the menu. We had beef carpaccio and crab tagllerini. Theres plenty non-fishy options to choose as well. We had pork tomahawk, monkfish(from the specials menu) and, of course, delicious Jersey Royals. The dessert section was also very inviting but we opted for dessert wines and affogattos instead. An absolute MUST visit for tourists and a perfect place for a nice meal, to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy the wonderful coastal views.

I came for my birthday and everyone was so nice. Thanks for the little card attention! The view was amazing, staff really nice and food is good. I would suggest more crustacean choice platters 🙂 Thank you 🙂

Just been to jersey and we was taking to this restaurant all I can say is fabulous in every way the food was so good best seafood I’ve ever had and can not wait to return . Staff also excellent .

We are on holiday and first visited Oyster Box on Wednesday to celebrate my husbands birthday, we had a superb meal, amazing food, great atmosphere and really friendly and attentive staff, we loved it so much we have been back Thursday and Friday and are going back for one last time on Saturday before we fly back to UK on Sunday afternoon. We have tried various dishes and loved them all, great combination of ingredients. Tried truffle chips for first time which were just incredible. Great seafood but also good selection of other dishes for non fish lovers. Overall highly recommended.

Beautiful location and the staff are very attentive, there are also some lovely touches for children like VIP robes and complementary milk and cookies before bed. However the hotel is incredibly overpriced. I don’t expect to pay £300 per night for my child to not even have a proper bed. I’ve stayed at some of the best hotels in London for less money with better facilities. The bathroom was small and the room was dated. The room is only equivalent to a premier plus room at premier inn. Spa facilities are also nice but the communal areas are quite stuffy with a lot of other guests that look down on you. One old man made disgusting lewd comments to a group of women. The staff did talk to him which was appreciated. Great staff, beautiful beach, slightly strange vibe and ridiculous pricing.

Took my partner here for her birthday as a surprise and had Nellie reach out prior to ensure everything was in order, upon check in I was greeted by Nellie who explained everything and more to us and ensured our booking with the spa was sorted. Nellie went above and beyond during our whole trip however also gave me the feeling that this was also her naturally effort to her job which was refreshing to see. The scenery from the hotel balcony and restaurants is incredible with the ability to walk out straight onto the beach ! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who needs a break or is looking for a romantic spa getaway.

Great location overlooking the sea, but this place is beginning to show its age. Fixtures showing signs of wear and tear, UPVC door and windows are tired and damaged/corroded. Food and wine is very expensive and I really dislike the practice of ‘discretionary service charge’ of 13%😭 We found all the staff to be welcoming and friendly through our stay. We will stay here again without doubt, but that is more about charm, comfy beds, staff and location.

We have had yet another amazing stay at l’Horizon with family. Staff are so friendly year on year and welcome you back with open arms. Our son has had a lovely week entertaining people on the piano in the evening and we hold our memories with Collette close to our hearts. We will be back

Absolutely amazing stay. The staff were super helpful and went the extra mile. We had an issue (not stay or hotel related) and the receptionist went above and beyond to help sort the problem.

The most fabulous restaurant! Delicious food. The most breathtaking view. Immensely attentive service. We could not have had a more wonderful evening.

Fantastic hotel..consistently helpful and professional staff. Always attentive to your needs. Breakfast excellent..either buffet or a la Carte. Bar food and restaurant evening meals of a high standard. Location is superb..overlooking St Brelade's Bay..idyllic..peaceful..relaxing..just listening to and watching the waves. Swimming pool clean and enjoyable.

Visited for Birthday dinner. We were staying with friends in Fisherman's cottage for the week which was great. Food was ok as was the service

Quiet and peaceful in the hotel and the island. Cooking was top notch as always and the bar staff brought what I want when I wanted it. All was good, but there was a standout incident at checkout where I was almost double charged for the room I’d paid for, and the bill seemed way too high until I corrected them. Hope they can get this sorted for next time.

Beautiful island, beautiful hotel. But rather pricey to stay in rather basic but clean rooms. The White House pool furniture is nice but the cushions are very worn and grubby, being white. But none of this will stop me staying for the 4th time. The staff are lovely, and the whole island clean, albeit devoid of animal life other than birds, insects and a few rabbits. Where are the cows gone? Why not a few chickens? Also, the island is not really open for business until the end of May. 😊

Herm is a stunningly beautiful island and I would urge anyone in the area to visit. Having not stayed in Herm for several years and with fond memories of our last stay, booked the White House for a weekend. We had lunch at the Shell Beach cafe and were pleasantly surprised as this is now much improved. Had a great light lunch and even a beer as the cafe is now licensed. A small confusion between table service and ordering from the counter resulted in having to join the long queue just to pay. Staff are great but more thought needs to be given to process. Sadly, we were slightly disappointed by the hotel. Our first impression on checking in was good - the staff are lovely. The room, whilst clean and appearing to have been painted recently, suffers a little from a dated look not at all like a 4-star the hotel purports to be. Views from the window are still amazing but no net curtains so people outside can see into the room unless the blackout curtains are drawn. We opted for the Ship Inn to eat as the Conservatory restaurant in the hotel seems a bit stuffy with its dress code. The Ship used to have a traditional small pub feel but now has been stripped back to a dull corporate boringness with a carpet more at home in a dull, second-rate conference centre. The menu was pricey and limited. The food was not good. Really, you can get a better meal at Premier Inn (a budget travel hotel) without the high prices and lack of choice. The staff, once again, were lovely but gave the impression of this being their first time working in hospitality. At breakfast, we waited 35 minutes after ordering only to discover they had lost our order. And having to make your own toast at a 4-star hotel? Once again, a systems and process/management issues. We eventually got our breakfast after 50 minutes. At checkout we had been charged extra random items around £60 more than we owed. No apology from the manager who was standing behind me when querying this. Overall, our stay did not live up to our fond memories and we were left with a feeling of disappointment and regret when thinking of how great this place could be with better management, especially since the managers appear to outnumber the very friendly staff.

I found small flys in my lettuce from in my burger and again in one of our children’s lettuce. Definitely put us off going there again for a while, if at all.

Hi have just had 2days at the hotel . Dated but comfortable Breakfast good Thanks to Brian who saved the day with my suitcase problem x

Hotel was lovely and great e-mail communication from Grace, prior to check in, which was great. The breakfast was delicious, in the Conservatory, and we had the most beautiful views which were not spoiled by the rain! We stayed in The Mermaid Cottage, which was very welcoming, wonderfully big room with lovely teas, coffees, hot chocolates and little biscuits waiting for us! Staff were nice but I kind of felt a vibe that we weren't the clientele they wanted to attract- I could have been wrong, was just a feeling, but to my understanding, there is nowhere else to stay if you want an overnight on Herm, short of camping.

Nice hotel, easy to get to the village, but steep climb. Great views. Furniture in bed room very mixed, some old fashioned, some new, the eclectic mix not quite working. All staff friendly, reception especially helpful. Dining room staff, esp mornings, bit hit & miss. (If the staff were able to look after areas in dining room, rather than everyone everywhere, it would be better, then people would not be missed & left waiting.) Lovely evening meal, be specific with how you want your breakfast cooked, and it will be good!

Good hotel with great service. A good choice of breakfast menu made with good produce. The room was spacious with a huge bed. It took a day or so to get used to the quite enormous slope to the room, as well as the corridors. The room was rather warm when we arrived, but once I turned the radiator off and opened the windows, it was pleasant. We could also leave the windows open all night as the hotel is in a quiet area. The only minor downside to the stay is that the hotel is situated halfway up a steep hill. With no car, the calves got a heck of a workout. But this is made up with a great view of St. Aubins bay.

Excellent choice in St Aubin with great views across the bay. Rooms spacious and great with a sea view. Tides restaurant serves great food and the breakfasts are excellent. The Voyager bar staff are attentive and make great cocktails. Outside pool heated and lovely to chill by.

This was our first time staying at the Somerville Hotel but it certainly won't be our last! The hotel is spotlessly clean and the atmosphere is very relaxed with friendly staff who are eager to make your stay enjoyable. Our room was quiet and well appointed. Only negative might be that the room safe is tiny so don't bring the family silver! Also, there is no air conditioning but a fan is provided. For us that wasn't a problem because we find that hotel air conditioning can often be noisy and difficult to control. Be aware that the hotel is set on a hill so may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Having said that, we had no problems with either climb to the hotel and we are no spring chickens! The standard of food in the Somerville Hotel is superb and the afternoon tea is excellent value for money. Delighted that sourdough bread was available at breakfast along with many other local goodies such as Jersey yoghurt and Jersey butter (for the sourdough toast!). The hotel pool is also spotlessly clean and a decent size. Plenty of sun loungers and parasols. The hotel bar is also very pleasant with attentive and cheerful staff. An exceptional hotel with some exceptional staff and exceptional views. You won't be disappointed.

We live in Jersey and visited the hotel restaurant only. We had a Sunday lunch which was excellent and well presented. A little more vegetables, especially roast potatoes would have been welcome, but the lovely desserts more than made up for that! Staff were friendly and professional and very efficient. We had a great meal with a great seaview from high above St Aubin. Recommended.

A great restaurant if you are out for lunch (pre book). Food was excellent both in the cooking and presentation. I had cod and my partner had the turbot. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Go and have lunch if you happen to be in Jersey.

Brilliant hotel, staff, food and drink. The views are incredible. Beautiful long weekend away!

A bathing pool that also overflow from the sea during high tide. A beautiful sight with the barricades against the sea, available people to safely swim within the conference of the pool. The staircase also makes it easier if you just want to seat by the water to cool off without swimming. An area view from the top of the marina shows a picture created for a calendar or an art, with the stairs and handrail dropping into the water, yet having ample space for swimming and for a little picnic party with family or partner. It has a changing room space and a toilet too.

What a find… lovely cafe with amazing treats whether post-swim or just to enjoy the sea view. Particularly love the toasted cheese and tomato & the gluten free brownie is the best. healthy options too. I wish I’d discovered sea swimming here earlier in the year… still jumped in yesterday though and it’s October!

Loved these pools. Exceptionally clean and not crowded when we visited, and fab views to Castle Cornet. And FREE!! Such a lovely surprise as we didn't know they existed. Wish we could have timed a swim at high tide too. The cafe is lovely, great staff, quick service, Guernsey ice cream!

Loved swimming at the pools. Ladies and Gentleman's pools are best enjoyed when the tide has gone out. Horseshoe at high tide. All have areas around them to change after a swim. Enjoyed laying out in the sun after to dry off.

OK. So yes, I did visit the swimming pools. But you'd have to pay me a small fortune to swim in October. There were people braving the elements. But I just watched. The water was very clear. And of course it's changed twice a day, with the tides.

Perfect location with lovely views for outdoor seawater tidal pools. Really nice cafe as well

First time swimming at the pools since they were refurbished. It was amazing, especially with the rising tide just lapping over the edge. It felt like being in Sydney. The cafe-with-a-view was great for post swim sustenance.

Lovely beach which is good for paddling or swimming. Excellent cafe with amazing views and plenty of seating. Free parking. Lovely short walk to the tower, with views over to France.

Lovely pebble beach and bay good for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. There is a limited amount of parking and a nice cafe. This is a pebble beach so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Archirondel beach is absolutely stunning. Great for rock pooling when the tide goes out, also a lovely sandy beach for the bucket and spade brigade. Martello tower which is open for self catering holidays. Small car park. Driftwood cafe. Toilets.

Nice and peaceful beach. Good restaurant with nice view. Public toilets. Worth a break!

Beautiful little bay. I did some rock balancing and sat and watched the various species of Gull. I saw a Cormorant too. Had a look in the rock pools and witnessed some electric purple seaweed!

Great cove with great cafeteria. Lovely view.

Stoney, but nice bay. Good cafe. Free parking.

August 2022.I am one of the lucky people who was here and able to walk across the causeway on a spring tide.Someone said it was like walking on Mars and the granite outcrops do resemble a forbidden planet.The island is tranquil and peaceful.There is a hostel on the island if you wish to stay longer than a few hours.There was a priory here and the remains of the buildings can still be seen.The island is a nature reserve and protected.I only stayed a few hours but recommend the island as an escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Lovely little island, very sirene & the Venus pools well worth the walk. The view on a clear day is amazing.

Lovely island with commanding views of Rocquaine Bay

Lihou is a small island accessible by causeway during low tide. It is a fascinating mix of history and nature as well as stunning views. It takes about 20min to walk across causeway. Sensible footwear is advised as the causeway is never completely dry and there are plenty of opportunities to observe local marine life such as crabs and small fish along the way. The island itself was once home to a monastery, the stone ruins and fish traps can still be seen. Today it is a nature reserve with many different sea birds making it their nesting grounds during the breading season, when parts of the island are roped off. It takes a couple of hours to walk around the island and admire the views. There are no facilities on the island and I would not reccomend taking a buggy. However definitely worth a visit.

The island itself is truly beautiful and there is something magical about staying over and having it to yourself. The issue is with the manor house. Its falling apart and some parts quite disgusting. The state of the mattresses in our room over the lounge i wouldn't even give to my dog to sleep on. The bathroom shower curtain was so mouldy at the bottom you could almost smell it. The mould from damp is everywhere and cannot be healthy. I'm sure if this was graded by tourism they would find hard to get a 2 star based on the state of the building. On location it would always get a 5 Saying that next time I stay for the beauty of the place I will take a mattress protector for on the bed and a hazmat suit for when I'm in the house. Come on trustees fix some of these issues which have been around for years.

Lovely peaceful tiny island.

Great place for the family. Outdoor activities in a safe environment.
