Derrible Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor on sandy holding ground in this stunning bay on Guernsey's northeast coast, where the water stays calm enough to take the dinghy ashore and explore sea caves exposed at low tide. The scenery is genuinely dramatic, with rocky headlands framing the bay on both sides and clear water that rewards a swim. It's a day anchorage rather than an overnight spot, so time your visit with the tides.
