2. Petit Bot Bay

Petit Bot Bay feels like a real treasure. This compact cove with minimal facilities is hidden among the cliffs of Guernsey’s dramatic southern coast. While it isn’t the kind of beach that has lifeguards and watersports equipment, it’s a perfectly picturesque place to spend a day sunbathing and exploring. Explore the hidden pools scattered across the rocky landscape then have a rest by the edge of the waves.
