A favourite with visitors and locals alike and only twenty minutes by boat from Guernsey, Herm is an unspoiled paradise of sand dunes, long golden beaches, hidden bays, cliffwalks and seabreeze-combed common. The highlight of any visit has to be a couple of hours spent lazing on Shell Beach, where clear waters lap the white sand that is madeup of millions of tiny shell fragments and which give the beach its name.
It’s easy to visit Herm in a day, but to really appreciate the escape that the island offers an overnight stay is a must. There’s a range of accommodation available, making it perfect for families and anyone wanting to get away from the stress of modern life.
