Picturesque country cottages, horse drawn carriages and lazy alfresco lobster lunches - Guernsey’s sister island, Herm, is a true British paradise. The subtropical flowers and white sandy beaches cast a mesmerising spell over all those who travel there. With its breathtaking stretches of white sandy beaches and stunning award-winning gardens it’s easy to see why so many fall in love with Herm at first sight. This haven from the modern world is just one and a half miles long by half a mile wide, so the scenic coastal paths can be walked in their entirity within a leisurely couple of hours. The gently undulating route takes you to stunning Shell Beach on Herm’s north eastern corner, with its crystal clear waters and sand that is comprised of millions of tiny shell fragments. A little further around the coast is the pretty, sheltered cove of Belvoir Bay while Herm Village is just a short walk from the harbour where you’ll find a pub and a few small shops.
