Fermain Bay
A pebble bay hidden in the woods south of St Peter Port, with a Martello tower and a beach café, a popular stop on the cliff path.
Fermain Bay is about 2.5 km south of St Peter Port, surrounded by wooded cliffs. At low tide, fine sand appears. Above the bay stands an 18th-century Martello tower, and the beach café serves seafood and afternoon tea in summer. The most popular way to get there is to walk about 45 minutes from St Peter Port along the south coast cliff path, or to take the small ferry from town in summer. By car, you can park only on the road above and then walk down a woodland path. The bay suits swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. Admission is free. Go in the morning in summer, when crowds are heavy.
