Not far from Guernsey’s Airport is Petit Bot Bay, a sheltered cove with plenty of rock pools to explore at low tide. The Petit Bot Tea Room is a staple of Guernsey’s kiosk heritage serving drinks, snacks and ice creams with outdoor seating in its sunny courtyard with views down the slipway and onto the bay.

Head to Icart Point for spectacular views across Moulin Huet and Jerbourg, just around the corner.

Saints Bay is a lovely spot with a small harbour anchoring little fishing boats within a sheltered cove. At the bottom of the steep cliff path you’ll discover Saints Bay Kiosk which has a liquor license and serves lovely home cooked food from this taverner style kiosk. The kiosk sits just up from the bay, accessed either by walking down a steep lane from St Martin’s, along the cliff paths or if you have a boat you can moor in the bay and row ashore.

Moulin Huet Bay is the next stop along the south coast. Nestled at the foot of the stunning south coast cliffs in St Martins. With crystal clear water, the renaissance painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, fell in love with this secluded cove during a visit in 1883. The Renoir Tea Garden is just a stone’s throw away from Renoir’s famous viewpoints where he painted the Pea Stacks. This idyllic kiosk serves local delicacies such as Guernsey crab, crusty sourdough sandwiches and delicious jam-jarred salads and of course Guernsey ice cream and other desserts. Unwind and channel your inner artist as you look through the picture frames along the Renoir Walk.

Further along the south coast there is the stunning Petit Port Bay, which is certainly not a beach for fainthearted – the only land access is down over 270 steep steps which are challenging. These lead to an idyllic, sandy, secluded bay with breathtaking scenery. You’ll soon realise that this beach is every bit worth the effort. Back on the cliff path you head towards Jerbourg Point, the most south-easterly point on our island. On a clear day savour views across the neighbouring islands while enjoying a delicious Guernsey ice cream from Jerbourg Kiosk. This kiosk also has a full range of milkshakes and ice creams as well as hot and cold food.

The route north from Jerbourg to Marble Bay – a hilly walk but well worth taking as arguably one of the most beautiful on the island. There are plenty of steps to contend with but the views out to sea are hard to beat not to mention the woodland which in Spring presents beautiful carpets of bluebells.

Continue along the cliff path and you will come across Fermain Bay. This is one of the most beautiful tucked-away beaches and cafés in Guernsey. This pebbled bay is hidden on the rugged east coast and is a lovely walk from either Jerbourg or St Peter Port along the cliff path. The inviting crystal-clear waters beyond the beach are delightful to swim in, and the Fermain Beach Café is a fabulous place to sit and relax with your friends whilst enjoying a Guernsey ice cream and many other treats.

Continuing towards St Peter Port you will stumble across the beautifully restored sea pools at La Vallette – known locally as the ‘Bathing Pools’. Since 1865, these pools have offered a safe and contained area for salt-water swimming, suitable for the whole family. In its earlier years, the pools were often visited by many people of great significance, including legendary “Les Misérables” writer Victor Hugo and famous Renaissance painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

The Bathing Pools have been recently rejuvenated providing a welcoming venue to support health and wellbeing, educational opportunities, a love of our environment and a year-round, indoor café that boasts beautiful views across Castle Cornet and Guernsey’s neighbouring islands Herm, Jethou, Brecqhou and Sark. The pools’ facilities also include changing ro
