What visitors say
Take a speedy ferry to this gem of an island. Tickets are open return so go for a longish walk anti clockwise round the coast. Some steepish sections but nothing to demand stout footwear. The views on a sunny day are a distraction at all points of the compass. Shell beach is a stopping place to eat at the charming Cafe or use the toilets there. Plenty of shells to look for and keep children occupied before continuing back past the inhabited half of the route. There are two ferry drop off points depending on the tide state. Remember there is a very large tidal range here. A full day out and you can even tay in a local cottage but you will need to bring all your food and drink over on the ferry with you.

A beautiful beach among beaches on the herm island. A very clear water, shallow enough with not so much current or wave that it allows even kids learning how to swim to build confidence in practicing how to swim. During the summer, the water was warm enough to allow for a good swim, I was there with my family, and it was a fun filled day. We had picnic, then swim more and rest under the sun until it set. It only took some a boat trip from Guernsey to get to the island, short 15min trip

Very picturesque beach on Herm Island. Loads of shells, hence the name. Sea is crystal clear. Cafe/bar by the footpath entrance. Amazing place.
