Fermain Bay
This pebbly bay can be accessed by a pleasant walk from St Peter Port along the cliff path and once there you can enjoy the crystal clear waters of this beach haven. Fermain Beach Cafe is the perfect stop-off point.
Shell Beach
This golden sandy beach has been named as one of the 20 best in Britain. Between April and September there is a cafe selling food, ice cream, toys and postcards, making it a particuarly family-friendly beach.
