Braye Harbour
Braye Harbour is Alderney's main port and the only official entry point into the Bailiwick of Guernsey from outside, so all customs clearance runs through here. You'll pick up one of 70 yellow visitor moorings rather than tying to a pontoon — it's a working harbour with a relaxed, no-frills Atlantic feel to it. The harbour sits right on the doorstep of Alderney's main town, St Anne, with pubs, restaurants and some genuinely wild coastal walking just minutes away.
