Dixcart Bay
Sark's most popular beach, reached by a footpath through woodland. Cliffs and natural rock arches frame the sandy shore.
Dixcart Bay lies on the east side of the south of the island. It is the easiest and most popular beach on Sark. From the Dixcart Hotel, a path through a wooded valley takes about 15 minutes to reach the bay. Cliffs and natural rock arches flank the shingle and sand beach. At low tide you can walk out to a larger stretch of sand, and it suits swimming and snorkeling. There are no shops at the bay, so you can eat at the hotels or tearooms along the way. When the tide is high, the beach shrinks considerably.
