Vale Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Vale Anchorage sits in the sheltered waters of Vale on Guernsey's south coast, where you can drop the hook and take in dramatic cliff scenery carved by the island's rugged coastline. The holding is generally good, and the setting keeps you well clear of the busier northern harbours. From here you're within reach of Vale Castle, one of Guernsey's oldest fortifications, perched above the surrounding flatlands. It's a quieter spot that rewards those who want space and scenery over crowds.
