Little Sark & Venus Pool
Little Sark
The peninsula of Little Sark, south of Port du Moulin. It has the remains of a silver mine and natural rock pools that appear at low tide.
Little Sark is the peninsula south of La Gouliot, a quieter pastoral area. The chimney ruins of a 19th-century silver mine still stand by the sea. The most popular spots are the Venus Pool and Adonis Pool, below the cliffs at the southern tip. They only appear around the lowest spring tides, and the water is clear enough for swimming. Reaching the pools requires descending a steep rocky path, so check the tide times in advance and return before the tide comes in. Little Sark has a few guesthouses and tearooms. The walk from La Gouliot to Venus Pool takes about 30 minutes.
