L'Ancresse Common Vale, Guernsey, GY2
VIEW ON MAP

Pembroke and L’Ancresse bay, situated at the most northern part of the island, accommodates sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters.

With the longest stretches of sand in Guernsey, the bays have a gentle slope, making it great for swimming and paddling as well as playing games on the beach. The water is also perfect for windsurfing, surfing, sailing, sea kayaking and even fishing if you wish.

Easily accessible by bus, there is also a large car park and toilets are available at both ends of the wide sweeping bay, along with the Beach House restaurant at Pembroke and a traditional Kiosk at L'Ancresse.
