Streets squares and districts to visit Sercq (Sark)

A visit to the charming feudal island of Sark is all about bays, beaches and coves. There are plenty of them here, and some are quite easy to get to. They're ideal for fishing enthusiasts (don't forget to pack your fishing gear before you leave!) and for wilderness lovers in all seasons.

Banquette Landing

.

This cove is a little difficult to access. At the end of Banquette Landing is a flat rock from which you can fish from mid-tide to high tide.

Derrible Bay

.

Numerous steps lead up to the sandy beach of Derrible Bay. A beach we recommend when the tide is high.

Dixcart Bay. A short, easy, shady walk through the valley serves as a warm-up before joining the steps down to the pleasant beach of Dixcart Bay, where a swim break is well deserved.

L'Eperquerie and Fontaine Bay. The access path to this cove offers a splendid view. At the bottom of the path, you'll find rocks where you can try your hand at fishing.

Gouliot Passage. Gouliot Passage offers two easy-to-access platforms at high tide.

La Grande Grève. The Grande Grève steps lead down to a sandy beach. On the left, in the seaweed, you'll find perch at low tide. Greens can also be caught here.

Grève de la Ville

.

Access to this beautiful beach is a little steep. At the bottom is a pebble beach where you can fish for wrasse in abundance and conger eels after dark.

Les Laches. It's a tough walk (and slippery if it rains) to get here. A good place to find worms (for fishermen, that is).

Little Sark. Access to the sea is quite difficult and steep at Little Sark. The easiest access is Port Gorey beach, near the old gold mines.

Le Manoir. Just beyond the prison, this was the first residence of the lords of Sark. An ordinary, utilitarian (for its time) granite building.

Maseline Bay. Maseline Bay is home to many species. After the rocks, a stretch of sand runs parallel to the harbour wall. A great place to sunbathe on sunny summer days!
