Cobo Bay
A red granite bay on the west coast with a broad beach and pink rocks, the island's most popular spot for sunsets and fish and chips.
Cobo Bay lies on the west coast in the Castel parish. It is known for its pink granite rocks and broad sandy beach, and at low tide you can search for shells and tide-pool creatures among the rocks. The west coast faces the Atlantic, making it the best spot for sunsets. In the evening, locals eat fish and chips on the seawall while watching the sun go down. The beach suits swimming, kitesurfing and paddleboarding, and there is a hotel restaurant and small shops nearby. It takes about 20 minutes by bus from St Peter Port, and admission is free. You can cycle or walk along the west coast to Vazon Bay and Ormer.
