Sport & Activities
Watersports: Guernsey’s location and mild climate provide good opportunities for beach holidays and water sports, particularly swimming and sailing. Amongst the best beaches are Petit Bôt, Vazon Bay, Cobo and l’Ancresse. Fishing tours on chartered boats are also available. Diving excursions and courses are offered by the Guernsey School of Diving (tel: (01481) 247 664) and other organisations. Contact the Guernsey Tourist Board for details (see Contact Addresses section).
Golf: Guernsey has two 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole course. The 18-hole course at La Grand De Mare was designed by Fred Hawtree and is particularly suitable for beginners and intermediate players. Visitors wishing to play must have a handicap certificate from a recognised club. Guernsey’s second 18-hole course is at the Royal Guernsey/L’Ancresse Golf Club in the north; a current handicap certificate from a recognised club is required. St Pierre Park’s 9-hole course is good for putting practice; a handicap is not required.
Other: Due to its small size, cycling holidays are popular in Guernsey. Excursions to the neighbouring islands of Herm and Sark as well as to France are possible via frequent ferry links. Walking tours can be organised throughout the Channel Islands, with trails along the cliffs providing dramatic scenery and beautiful views. Contact the Guernsey Tourist Board for details (see Contact Addresses section).
