Dixcart Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Dixcart Bay is a lovely spot to drop anchor on the south coast of Sark, with the kind of scenery that makes you want to linger longer than planned. It can get busy in summer, so arriving early gives you the best pick of the anchorage. If you're heading ashore by dinghy, make sure to pull it well up near the stairs — the tidal flow here can catch you out.
