- St. Peter Port & Castle Cornet — The coastal path hooks into Guernsey’s lively capital, so you get narrow cobbled streets, working fishing boats and cafes within a few minutes of wild cliff walks. Castle Cornet sits on a tidal islet and gives proper harbour panoramas plus a dose of history — cannon batteries, museums and a skyline you won’t find on most coastal rambles.
- Moulin Huet Bay (Fermain Bay) — A painter’s cove of granite boulders, clear emerald water and sheltered little beaches; the light here made artists stay. It’s one of those places where the geology, color and calm make swimming or snorkeling feel special compared with the usual cliff-side views.
- Jerbourg Point — The island’s rugged southern headland: high cliffs, sweeping Atlantic views, ancient earthworks and wartime gun

- Jerbourg Point — The island’s rugged southern headland: high cliffs, sweeping Atlantic views, ancient earthworks and wartime gun emplacements. It’s dramatic, exposed country where you’ll often spot seabirds, passing porpoises and get a real sense of being at the edge of land.
- Fort Grey & Rocquaine Bay — That lone round Martello tower (the shipwreck museum) perched over a rock-strewn bay is pure character. The shore here is excellent for rockpooling, dramatic waves breaking on reefs and occasional seals — more raw coastal drama than postcard beaches.
- Vazon Bay — Guernsey’s main sandy beach: long walks, dunes, reliable surf and big west-facing sunsets. It’s a different vibe from the cliffs — wide open space, good for bodyboarding or just stretching your legs after the rockier sections of the path.
