Guernsey hotels by the beach

Sand and sea a few minutes from your room.

Guernsey packs more than 25 beaches into an island about 24 square miles in size, so you're never far from one. These hotels are right by the sand, or a short walk down a valley path.

The west coast is best for sunsets and sandy bays. The south-coast beaches are small coves at the bottom of steep paths.

9 hotels by the beach we recommend

  1. Just across the road from Cobo Bay's sand, with sunset views from the terrace.

  2. Right on Rocquaine Bay by Fort Grey, with a sunset terrace and a proper local's bar.

  3. A grassy headland running down to the sandy bays at Port Grat and Grand Havre on the north-west coast.

  4. Herm's beaches, including Shell Beach and Belvoir Bay, are a short walk across a car-free island.

  5. About 350 yards above Havelet Bay, with its bathing pools, and a short walk to town.

  6. A wooded path leads down (steeply) to the pebbly cove of Fermain Bay and its beach café.

  7. On the clifftop above Saints Bay's little harbour, with Moulin Huet next door.

  8. A green valley setting a short walk down to Saints Bay.

  9. A short walk down to Dixcart Bay, one of Sark's most sheltered beaches (closed in winter).
