Get Active in Guernsey  

If you fancy doing something a little bit different, why not get the whole family together and go on a bike ride? Guernsey is relatively flat making it easy to hire bikes and go on a tour of the city. Explore the island on your bikes and discover some of the best beaches. Why not set yourself a challenge to ride around the entire island? If cycling 23 miles is out of the question, create a route that is more suited to your ability. Going on a bike ride is only one option; you could also try kayaking, hiking or climbing. The island is known for its stunning scenery and these are just a few of the ways to see it. Why not try something new? There is no limit to amount of activities you can try. Spend a few hours fishing, abseiling or enjoy a spot of archery.

Spend a Day at the Beach

Guernsey is home to some of the most spectacular stretches of coastline around and a day at the beach is fun for the whole family. Walk along the shore or enjoy a breathtaking cliff walk and stop off at one of the cafes for a spot of lunch. Better still; visit one of the infamous beach kiosks for an ice cream.
