Watersports

Diving

The clear waters around Guernsey are great for diving and there are several excellent diving schools. The visibility is up to 10+ metres and the waters are slightly warmer than the UK by some 2-3 degrees. Literally hundreds of ships have been lost in these waters so there’s some excellent wreck diving, plus reefs, walls, steep pinnacles and open ground.

Surfing

Guernsey has a number of popular surfing beaches. The main surf spots are Vazon beach (great for learning), Vazon Reef/Totherside, Centres at Richmond, Portinfer and Perelle.

There’s an excellent surfing school at Vazon Beach – all the instructors are qualified Beach Lifeguards and accredited Surf Coaches who are friendly, patient and extremely committed to what they do.

Fishing

There's never a bad time to fish from the shore in Guernsey as we hold such a wide variety of species in our waters.

You can also take angling trips with professional skippers who know the local waters and the best fishing marks. These range from rich sandbanks and mid channel wrecks to the varied coastline and reefs of Sark, which are home to just about every species that can be caught.

Boating activities

Boat Trips

A variety of companies offer boat trips and rib rides around the coast and to the neighbouring islands. You can visit deserted beaches and coves, admire the soaring cliffs and spot seals in the water.

Coastal activities

Rock climbing

Not strictly a water sport, but you’ll be on the cliffs overhanging the water, so it almost counts! Guernsey has some great climbing. The West coast crags at Port Soif, Grandes Rocques and Pembroke offer many easy access short routes. The South coast offers dramatic scenery to complement some fantastic and thrilling climbing.

Coasteering

Coasteering is a unique adventure sport in which you can experience the exhilaration of sea level traversing, rock scrambling, jumping, and swimming in gullies and caves. It is a fun and exciting coastal exploration along the wild and beautiful Guernsey and Sark shorelines. There are several local companies that offer coasteering explorations with experienced instructors and all the necessary equipment.
