Sark

Sark is the third largest island in the Bailiwick and lies six miles to the east of Guernsey. An island with infinite variety with valleys and woods, and a long fretted, picturesque coastline of nearly 40 miles.

It is a ramblers paradise, particularly in the spring when the wild flowers are special. Bird watchers, painters and photographers all find much to attract them. The coastal views are amazing, sandy and shingle bays, rock arches, massive detached rock stacks and several spectacular caves.

There are no motor cars permitted on Sark, transport is by bicycle or horse drawn carriage. Visitors can tour the island's beauty spots in a carriage, the leisurely pace of the horse giving plenty of time to enjoy the wealth of the spectacular scenery. Carriages are not permitted to cross La Coupee, a bridge which joins the main island to Little Sark, so visitors have to walk from thereon if they wish to visit smaller section of the island, bicycles are permitted across the causeway.

The island boasts of many excellent cafes, restaurants and public houses. There is a quaint little shopping village where stores cater for basic needs. There are also two banks on the island, which are handy for those who are accommodated there.

All regular communication to Sark is via Guernsey and the Isle of Sark shipping company run a passenger service throughout the year. The launch from Guernsey takes around 40 minutes.
