Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of Guernsey, they are as follows:

  • The island's beaches are mainly wide, quite short and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of bright color.
  • Since many beaches are sandy, we recommend taking special shoes with you to avoid discomfort during your vacation.
  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 21 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 22 beaches in the island have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Guernsey is less than 500 meters. 21 beaches are relatively easy to access, 1 beach are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 3 beaches are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

Wild beaches with no infrastructure dominate the coastline of Guernsey however, even here you can find a beach with a standard set of accessories: sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, showers and toilets.

Latest reviews on Guernsey's beaches

Shell Beach
10 Lila Arman

We had a great time trying out the ice cream at this place! It's just a shame that the shell beach was covered in seaweed due to the recent storm.

La Vallette Bathing Pools
10 xompson

The facility is great, but the sand at the children's pool beach is not pleasant to walk on.

Venus Pool
10 Aria L

This beach is amazing and definitely worth a visit. It can be a bit of a scramble, but if you lose the path, you're heading in the right direction.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 19.4°C and water up to 19.4°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 9.3°C and water to 9.2°C.
