Guernsey really is one of the most stunning islands in the world, with quaint harbour towns, a magnificent coastline and enormous seabird colonies, it really is something to see. Sitting just off of the Normandy Coast Guernsey offers a holiday location that is reminiscent of mainland Europe, without the long flight times. The island attracts plenty of sunshine, and with over 25 beaches, it is the perfect place to visit for the ultimate relaxing break. There are pretty, little towns with cobbled streets to stroll along as well as sites of historical interest, where you can learn about the island's heritage. Guernsey, it seems, has something for everyone.

Guernsey enjoys up to 2,000 hours of sunny weather every year and with more than 25 beaches, it won't be long before you find your favourite bay, whether you prefer the sandy beaches in the north of the island, or the spectacular cliffs and rocky landscapes of the beaches on the south coast. Throughout the year these beaches play a central role in Guernsey life, whether you are sunbathing during the summer months, enjoying water sports and sailing or enjoying the fresh sea air and dramatic coastline during the winter.

The pretty cobbled streets of the island's capital St Peter Port offers plenty of shopping opportunities and with both small boutiques and larger stores available it's easy to lose track of time. Don't forget that thanks to Guernsey having lower excise duty rates than in Britain, you might also pick up a bargain to take home with you. Every Friday is a market day when the town's market square is full of local suppliers and traders selling their local produce and goods. This picturesque harbour town is overlooked by the historic Castle Cornet, just one of the many historic buildings available to visit where you can learn about the island's proud heritage.

The Voyage Prive travel expert's opinion on travel to Guernsey

We love Guernsey, it's the perfect location for those who don't like long flights, yet crave the sun, sea and sand that you would expect from more long-haul destinations. There is everything you need for the perfect get-away but the location of the island also means that you can use it as a base to go island hopping and explore the other Channel Islands if expeditions are more your thing. There are many beautiful beaches on the north of the island where holidaymakers can enjoy some fantastic water sports and plenty of opportunities to sunbathe in the summer months. The south of the island has a more rocky coastline that acts as home to some amazing seabird colonies. You can head there to see puffins, gannets, or guillemots as they raise their young. Inland, there are some gorgeous little towns with plenty of shopping opportunities and attractions to help you pass the time. There is so much to do here for families, couples, and single people alike. Guernsey has the ideal climate and the right terrain to allow you to make your holiday to the island exactly what you want it to be. Whether you want adventure, sports, relaxation, or to soak up the history and culture of the island, you can do it all on Guernsey.

Practical Information about Guernsey

Holidays to Guernsey - information
It is worth noting that if you are travelling into Guernsey from the UK or Ireland, you will not be requested to produce your passport on arrival onto the island. You can use your currency from the UK during your visit to Guernsey, and goods cost around the same amount on the island as they would in the UK. Budget wise, therefore, it would be prudent to think about how much you would spend on a typical UK holiday. Guernsey does also have its own notes and coins, should you wish to exchange some of your money before your holiday to ensure your cash is accepted everywhere. Weather wise, Guernsey has a very moderate climate and follows the same seasonal patterns as the UK. This means that July and August, as the warm summer months, are the best time to visit, at least if you want sunny weather. Discover more offers to Guernsey : Weekend

Is Jersey or Guernsey better?

If you have the time the combined visit is a good idea. If you only have a few days we recommend Guernsey which is more varied with the inevitable shark and herm. You can easily do a tour of Guernsey in 3 days. Don't miss the west coast with Cobo Bay. To the south there is a superb coastal path, in some places it feels like the West Indies...
