THE ISLAND’S COASTLINE IS<br />
BURSTING WITH DIFFERENT<br />
THINGS TO DO ALL YEAR<br />
ROUND, SO IT’S TIME TO<br />
GET EXPLORING<br />
PORT SOIF<br />
BEACH CAFÉ PEMBROKE<br />
AUTUMN<br />
Guernsey’s coasts in the autumn can be as, or even<br />
more attractive, than in summer. Stretch your legs<br />
and clear your mind with the refreshing salty air while<br />
taking in some fantastic views of the autumn scenery.<br />
There is lots going on in Guernsey during these months<br />
including the Autumn Walking Festival. But first, take a<br />
trip to Petit Port which has often been described as the<br />
most beautiful beach in Guernsey. Renoir fell in love<br />
with this spot during his visit and rendered the view in<br />
numerous paintings. Getting there does involve going<br />
down almost 400 steps, but autumn is the perfect time<br />
for it and you will be rewarded with truly majestic views.<br />
You can also find a quiet sheltered spot at Port Soif,<br />
perfect for weekend walks and afternoon get-togethers<br />
and at low tide, families can also enjoy the vast<br />
rock-pooling opportunities. To help keep you warm,<br />
pop to the beach café and tea garden, Surfside, for a<br />
warming cup of tea together with a freshly-made cake.<br />
BLUEBELL WOODS<br />
WINTER<br />
The island’s coastline has a wild beauty in the colder<br />
months but still offers incredible wildlife, views and<br />
buckets of fresh air. It’s time to embrace the elements<br />
and feel invigorated with a wind-swept walk along<br />
L’Ancresse Bay and Pembroke. Covering two bays, this<br />
is one of the longest stretches of beach in Guernsey<br />
making it a perfect way to work off the comfort food<br />
and shake off the winter hibernation. Treat yourself to a<br />
comforting cup of hot chocolate from the Beach Café<br />
with an extra portion of marshmallows. The winter can<br />
also be a beautiful time to visit Herm. Each Christmas,<br />
Herm opens up its popular gift shops for visitors to<br />
do a spot of festive shopping. Carol singers help get<br />
shoppers in the festive spirit and day-trippers can also<br />
enjoy a windswept walk around the island and a winter<br />
warmer in the pub. Keep an eye out for the £1 day<br />
tickets available from Travel Trident Ticket Kiosk.<br />
