The area and getting around
Guernsey is one of the Islands on the English Channel near Normandy. It has creamy white beaches and a mild climate that is friendly for most months. The island has a rich history and hosts relics from the Roman times through the tumultuous Middle Ages to recent World War battles. Visitors can walk on stunning cliffs with awesome views of the sea and the beaches while visiting famous sites. Little Chapel is the smallest chapel in the world with full rights to host religious ceremonies. It was designed by a French monk named Brother Deodat, who wanted to create a smaller version of the basilica in Lourdes. The chapel is an intricate collage of broken ceramics, seashells, and pebbles. In spite of its small size, it is popular with visitors.
Popular Activities in GuernseyA round trip on the ferry will take you to all the famous places on the island, including the islets and secluded beaches. All of them are accessible within an hour of cruising, so there will be plenty of time to indulge in other activities. Fermain Bay is a pebble rich area accessible from St Peter Port on the cliff trail. The precarious walk down the cliff provides excellent views, but make sure that you do not get distracted and slip! Visitors who find their way there can indulge in soaking and splashing the crystal clear waters on the beach to cool themselves. The curious ones will venture into the Fermain Beach Café and sample the different local dishes on offer.
